A lot of people speculated that the delay in the release of ‘The Family Man’ season two until 'summer' was due to the uproar surrounding the debut of Amazon Prime Video's other show, ‘Tandav’. Several FIRs have been filed against persons involved in ‘Tandav’, a political drama that was later modified after several parts were found to be objectionable to specific communities. The Family Man's highly anticipated second season was previously set to premiere on February 12th. In June, the show was finally released.

Manoj Bajpayee, star of ‘The Family Man’, spoke up about the same controversy and its effect on the show.

In an appearance on the Indian Express eAdda he said, “It is overstated,”. “The Family Man season 2 was complete and was ready for release when the Tandav episode happened. Did you ever feel in The Family Man that it is censored? If at all we were worried, it was about the protest that was coming from a different part of the country. But we were very confident that once people saw the show, they would understand that it is about them. Raj and DK and the writers put all the sides of debates in the script for people to decide. That’s a great way to put all the arguments in the script.”

In an Instagram post, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK had written, "We know you have eagerly been waiting for the new season of The Family Man. We are grateful and humbled by all the love! We have an update for you. 'The Family Man season 2' will premiere on Amazon Prime Video this summer."

'The Family Man' is an action thriller series starring Manoj Bajpayee as Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man secretly working as an intelligence officer for the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), a fictitious branch of the National Investigation Agency.
