The Family Man Season 2: The Family Man Season 2 lamps up the heat :-

This summer as the socio-political thriller gears up for the second season. Packing a whole lot of thrill, mystery, anger and some generous sprinkling of dry humor, the new June release for Amazon Prime OTT is guaranteed to keep you glued to your screens.

The Family Man 2

The boom of the OTT platforms such as Netflix and Amazon prime has brought out some of the most extraordinary gems of the Indian entertainment space into attention and we couldn’t be thankful enough. The Family Man is one such content that managed to deliver on every possible front. From the plot to the acting, from the editing to the directing, it is almost a flawless blend of gripping storytelling along with that particular flavor of gritty that is only native to desi entertainment. Netflix may lead in terms of offering nail-biting thrillers but seems like Amazon Prime is not far behind either.

ABOUT

Season 1

The Family Man is an espionage action thriller web series, whose first season is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The plot basically follows the life of Srikant Tiwari, who acts as a senior analyst in the fictional special department called Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC). It is a part of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India that deals with surveillance of potential terrorist attacks. While at home, he has a family that comprises his wife and two kids.
The first season follows Srikant and his special team as they lead an investigation of a potential terrorist attack, as we are simultaneously also taken on a tension-filled journey of his slightly unsettled family life. We tag along with the protagonist as he tries to protect the nation from terrorists while also protecting his family from the consequences of his high-pressure and low paying job. The show draws inspiration from contemporary geopolitical issues and most plot threads are based on real incidents documented in real-life newspaper articles.

The creators have stated that the series is closely based on the 2011 movie, Shor in the City, in terms of its dramatic and edgy tone that also involves sufficient action. There is also a good deal of wry humour that comes attached to dealing with the system or bureaucracy in our country.

Continuing to season 2
As season 2 begins, Srikant has finally quit his ‘government job’ and joined the 9 to 5 rat race with a company cleverly called CacheMe (a definite pun on catch me because catching bad guys is what Srikant really wants to do.) He is hoping to make amends to his increasingly distant wife Suchi (an impressive Priyamani). The couple is in marriage counselling, and though he has now become the ‘family man’ his wife and kids wanted, no one at home seems to be truly happy.
After a long wait of almost two years, the second season is all set to drop among the June releases, with The Family Man Season 2 release date on June 4.

The thriller was an instant hit among the audience as soon as it was released back in 2019 and it still continues to be one of the most popular shows in India’s OTT space. The first season saw Srikant Tiwari trying to strike the perfect work-life balance, but it unexpectedly escalated into a high-stakes plot that left us on a huge cliffhanger by the end.

The Family Man Season 2 will continue where it previously left off and we will finally know if that fatal gas leak caused by the terrorists wreaked havoc in the city or if the day was saved at the last second by the team at TASC.

Amazon Prime OTT also released a trailer for The Family Man season 2 among its June releases, along with The Family Man season 2 release date to feed our anticipation. It looks like Srikant Tiwari will be pitted against a new character, a brutal and powerful nemesis named Raaji. The Family Man season 2 will also continue to see Srikant struggle between the duality of being a middle-class family man and a world-class spy while simultaneously trying to save the nation from an imminent attack.

ON THE SCREEN

As the storyline takes place around various locations in India, the show creators chose actors from various states to represent the diversity such as Karnataka, Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
The series features Manoj Bajpayee as the titular character, Srikant Tiwari. Kishor Kumar plays the role of commando leader, Imran Pasha while Priyamani plays the role of Suchitra, Srikanth’s wife. She is an associate professor in the psychology department who juggles between her work and being a mother to her kids. Suchitra is a typical working wife and is not afraid of expressing herself.

The role of Arvind is played by Sharad Kelka, whose character is an associate professor but is trying to become an entrepreneur. Neeraj Madhav in his digital debut plays the character of a 24-year-old IT engineer named Moosa, who gets involved with ISIS. We also have Sundeep Kishan playing the role of Major Vikram.

For The Family Man season 2, Samantha Akkineni makes her first foray into the OTT digital space. She plays the role of the main antagonist Raji, a terrorist leader. Moosa, the character played by Neeraj Madhav, is also expected to come back in the second season.
