The final scene of The Family Man season two teased what the third season could possibly have in store for fans.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Manoj, who plays secret agent Srikant Tiwari in the show, said that there is no writers room in place currently, as a lockdown is in effect. “Everyone is locked up. Let the world open, let this country open fully. And when they start working… I’m very sure they will be taking it forward with Amazon. When it is greenlit they will start turning the story into a screenplay, because the story is with them, that is ready.”
He added, “If everything goes right, it will still take one-and-a-half years, or more than that, for the third season to be ready.”
