The highly anticipated fourth season of "The Family Man" may be arriving sooner than expected, according to hints dropped by creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK (Raj & DK). The espionage thriller's third season recently became Prime Video's most-watched series of 2025, trending in the Top 5 across more than 35 countries. However, the season concluded with a cliffhanger, leaving audiences eager for more and speculating about the future of Srikant Tiwari and his team.
The intentional cliffhanger at the end of Season 3 was part of a "bigger plan," according to Raj Nidimoru. Addressing the long wait between seasons, DK hinted that the wait for Season 4 might not be as long. "Will season four come sooner than later then? Looks like we will have to," he stated, suggesting a possible acceleration of the production timeline.
The release history of "The Family Man" has been inconsistent. There was approximately a 21-month gap between the first (2019) and second (2021) seasons, but fans then had to wait over four years for Season 3, which premiered in November 2025. The creators' commitment to meticulous creative standards and extensive research contributes to these lengthy gaps. DK has emphasized the importance of realism in the series, noting that the stories are built on real incidents, events, and geopolitics.
Currently, writing for Season 4 is underway, and shooting is tentatively scheduled to begin around mid-2026. Earlier reports had suggested a potential release window as early as the first half of 2027, but the creators' recent comments indicate the season could arrive even sooner.
"The Family Man" features Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man secretly working as an intelligence officer for the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), a fictitious branch of the National Investigation Agency. The series also stars Priyamani, Sharad Kelkar, Neeraj Madhav, Sharib Hashmi, and others. Season 3 introduced Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur as antagonists.
While some reports suggest that the story of "The Family Man" has concluded as a standalone series, the characters may continue to appear in other parts of Raj & DK's spy universe, such as "Farzi 2". This crossover between "The Family Man" and "Farzi" was evident in the latest season, with references to Vijay Setupathi's Michael Vedanayagam.
