The Family Man 3: Manoj Bajpayee Returns With Jaideep Ahlawat And Nimrat Kaur As Antagonists
Last Updated: The Family Man 3 brings Manoj Bajpayee back as Srikant Tiwari, now up against Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur in the highly anticipated 2025 season of the hit Prime Video series. Prime Video's acclaimed spy-thriller The Family Man is officially returning for its third season, and this time, Manoj Bajpayee's Srikant Tiwari is up against two powerful new adversaries. Acclaimed actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur have joined the cast as the primary antagonists in what promises to be the franchise's most intense chapter yet. The teaser, clocking in at 58 seconds, offers a tantalising glimpse into the chaos and conflict that lies ahead. It shows Srikant juggling his double life — as a devoted family man and a high-level undercover spy — all while battling new threats to national security. The video culminates with a dramatic shot of Ahlawat donning a cape while riding a motorcycle, and Kaur exuding intrigue in a mysterious restaurant setting. Returning alongside Bajpayee are series regulars Priyamani (Suchitra), Sharib Hashmi (JK), Ashlesha Thakur (Dhriti), and Vedant Sinha (Atharv), as the Tiwari family continues to anchor the emotional core of the show. While the teaser confirms a 2025 release, an exact date is yet to be revealed. Nikhil Madhok, Director & Head of Originals at Prime Video India, spoke about the overwhelming demand for the series. ''The Family Man' has become one of Prime Video's most beloved franchises globally. We've been flooded with requests for Season 3 ever since viewers wrapped up Season 2," he said. Reuniting once again are creators Raj & DK, along with writer Suman Kumar, who promise to raise the stakes even higher this season. 'Season 3 will push Srikant and his team to their limits," the creators shared. 'We've crafted a story that blends explosive action with deep emotional conflict. This time, the threats are more complex, and Srikant's personal life gets even more tangled." Expressing their excitement over the new cast additions, they added, 'We're thrilled to welcome Jaideep and Nimrat into the universe. They bring a powerful dynamic to the narrative that we think fans will absolutely love. The Prime Video team has been an incredible partner in bringing our vision to life once again." Since its debut in 2019, The Family Man has become one of India's most successful web series, known for its clever storytelling, grounded characters, and high-stakes espionage. With two explosive seasons already under its belt, the upcoming third installment is expected to take the franchise global — both in scope and emotional depth. As fans eagerly await the return of Srikant Tiwari, The Family Man 3 is shaping up to be a thrilling continuation of a saga that blends action, humour, and heartbreak in equal measure.
