How to watch

Manoj Bajpayee stars as Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class family man secretly working for a fictional national intelligence agency, juggling deadly missions with parent-teacher meetings and marital trouble. Created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. for Prime Video, the series blends espionage, dark humor and domestic drama, with Sharib Hashmi as his loyal colleague JK Talpade.

🕐 Release Order

Here's every entry in release order, including Raj & DK's connected series Farzi.

1. The Family Man Season 1 (2019)
2. The Family Man Season 2 (2021)
3. Farzi (2023)
4. The Family Man Season 3 (2025)

Farzi, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, is a counterfeiting thriller that isn't a direct spin-off, but it confirms a shared universe with a cameo from JK Talpade. It's an optional but rewarding detour before Season 3.

📖 Story Chronology

Story order follows release order. Season 2 picks up after the cliffhanger of Season 1, and Farzi takes place in the same world ahead of Season 3.

1. The Family Man Season 1 (2019)
2. The Family Man Season 2 (2021)
3. Farzi (2023) — optional shared-universe series
4. The Family Man Season 3 (2025)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Release order is the way to go. Start with Season 1, which introduces Srikant and ends on a tense cliffhanger, then move to Season 2, featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu's acclaimed performance as Raji. Watch Farzi if you want the full Raj & DK universe experience, and then dive into Season 3. Each season builds on the last, so skipping ahead isn't recommended.
