‘The Family Man 3’ becomes Prime Video’s most-watched series of 2025 in launch week

The third season of The Family Man has emerged as Prime Video’s most-watched series of 2025 during its launch week, the streaming platform announced on Wednesday.

Released on November 21, the latest installment of the spy-action saga created by Raj & DK quickly gained international attention, trending in the Top 5 in over 35 countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, and Malaysia. In India, the show reached 96 per cent of pincodes in its first week, outperforming both its previous seasons and every other title released on the platform this year.

Despite its record-breaking viewership, some sections of the audience felt that Season 3 did not fully meet their expectations. Fans expressed that, while the show retained its trademark action and humor, certain plotlines and character arcs felt less engaging compared to previous seasons.

“The immense love and adulation that audiences have for The Family Man is evident in the spectacular reception of the latest season,” said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India. He added, “The gripping story, exceptional performances, and Raj & DK’s signature quirk are what have made the series so widely loved and a true audience favourite.”

Season three sees the return of Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari, the seemingly ordinary family man who secretly works as a government agent unraveling terror plots. This season, Tiwari goes on the run with his family, hunted by both new adversaries and his own agency, while racing against time to prevent a looming national crisis.

The season also brought back Sharib Hashmi, Priyamani, Ashlesha Thakur, Vedant Sinha, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Gul Panag. Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur joined as newcomers. Raj & DK, along with Suman Kumar and Tusshar Seyth, helmed the direction.

Expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response after a four-year gap, the filmmaker duo said, “This reaction reaffirms that audiences value our efforts to make the series bigger, better, and more engaging. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of storytelling to deliver fresh, relatable, and truly unmissable content.”
