Therefore, the second season of this series also created a stir as soon as it came on OTT. The second season had a total of 9 episodes. In other words, with 19 episodes across both seasons, the series captivated audiences so much that a third season is now on the way. Speaking of the first and second seasons, both have received strong ratings on IMDb – the first season holds a rating of 8.7, while the second season has an impressive 8.9. The Family Man 3 Update:
The third season of The Family Man is going to be more exciting as it will also feature acclaimed actor Jaideep Ahlawat. Manoj Bajpayee has officially confirmed that Ahlawat will be part of season 3. In an interview with OTT Play, Manoj said, 'Jaisa ki aapko news se pata chala hoga ki ek naya inclusion hua hai usme. 1.5-2 saal pehle humne Jaideep Ahlawat ko cast kiya tha and Jaideep has done very well in season two of Paatal Lok.
