The Family Man season 3 finally arrived on Prime Video after a long four year wait, and its debut has turned out to be one of the strongest this year. The new season has Manoj Bajpayee facing off against Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur, and the show has managed to register a huge start in its opening week. It has even matched the debut viewership of Kay Kay Menon’s Special Ops 2, and the response suggests that fans were more than ready for its return, even though the season ends with another cliffhanger.
The show has now entered the list of the top five biggest debuts of 2025. The interesting twist here is that Jaideep Ahlawat himself has pushed his own Pataal Lok season 2 out of the top five with this performance. According to Ormax, The Family Man season 3 recorded 6.2 million viewings in the week of November 17 to 23, 2025, making it the most watched streaming original in India for that week. It sits right below Bobby Deol’s Aashram season 3 part 2, which still holds the record for the biggest debut of the year.
Even with such strong numbers, it is not a perfect victory. The show is trending at number 7 globally on Prime Video, which is lower than expected for a series of this scale. Poor critic ratings and the presence of disturbing advertisements seem to have affected its momentum. The series is definitely one of the biggest hits of this year, but it could have gone even further with better reception and a cleaner viewing experience.
