Since May, acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee has been back in action, capturing the intrigue and intensity of the much-loved Srikant Tiwari—often referred to as the desi James Bond. As fervent fans eagerly anticipate the third season of “The Family Man,” new insights suggest that our espionage hero may soon be hanging up his boots. According to sources close to mid-day, the creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK are contemplating concluding the popular spy saga with a fourth and final season.
Currently, the production of the third season is in full swing, and the buzz on set is nothing short of electric. A source privy to the developments shared, “We are in the midst of shooting the third season, and everyone is thrilled with how it’s taking shape. At the same time, there are ongoing discussions about ending the series with the fourth installment. Raj-DK are playing around with this idea, although no definitive decision has been made yet.”
First aired in 2019, “The Family Man” quickly won hearts with its unique blend of comedy and espionage thriller elements. The creators’ collaboration with Bajpayee, along with stellar performances by Priyamani and Sharib Hashmi, resulted in glowing reviews and a rapidly expanding fan base. The second season pushed the boundaries further, setting high expectations for the forthcoming third season.
However, discussions about possibly concluding the series are still in the formative stages. According to the insider, “The idea of wrapping up the series is still very nascent. The final decision will only be made after thorough discussions with all key stakeholders, and this will happen only after they finish filming the third season.”
Meanwhile, the scripting for what could potentially be the grand finale—the fourth season—has already begun. Another insider provided additional details, stating, “Even as the third season is being shot, Raj-DK have commenced writing the script for the fourth part. The next filming schedule for the third season is set to begin in the coming weeks, and the creators aim to use the breaks in between to finalize the script for the fourth season.

As the third season unfolds, viewers can expect the continued roller-coaster of action, emotions, and unforeseen twists that have become synonymous with “The Family Man.” Manoj Bajpayee’s portrayal of Srikant Tiwari has added layers of depth and relatability to the character, making him an enduring figure in contemporary Indian web series.
Given the multitude of plot threads and subplots woven into the series, ending it in a satisfying manner will undoubtedly be a Herculean task for Raj-DK. They will have to ensure that all story arcs are brought to a meaningful conclusion, a responsibility that weighs heavily on their creative shoulders. Fans of the show are undoubtedly apprehensive yet hopeful, eagerly waiting to see how the creators will navigate this delicate balancing act.
In an industry where successful franchises often get stretched beyond their logical endpoints, Raj-DK’s consideration of a well-timed and graceful exit is both surprising and commendable. If pulled off correctly, it could set a new benchmark for storytelling in Indian web series, emphasizing quality over quantity.
This potential conclusion also brings into focus the future of its cast members. Manoj Bajpayee, who has been the cornerstone of the series, could see his character becoming a part of Indian pop culture history. Similarly, supporting actors Priyamani and Sharib Hashmi have seen their careers enriched by their association with the show and will likely continue to reap its benefits for years to come.
As fans hold their breath and await official confirmation, one thing remains certain: “The Family Man” has already etched its mark in the annals of Indian web series history. With the third season eagerly anticipated and the fourth season potentially serving as its swan song, the series promises to deliver a thrilling and memorable ride till the very end.
For now, all eyes are on Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK as they juggle the dual tasks of shooting the third season and scripting the finale. The industry’s attention is equally glued to Manoj Bajpayee, whose portrayal of Srikant Tiwari continues to captivate millions. Whether or not this fourth season becomes the final chapter, “The Family Man” will remain a landmark series that redefined the landscape of Indian spy thrillers.
