Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Family Man‘ was already the most anticipated show of 2021 since last year, and now with the delayed trailer of the second season has heightened the excitement for the show to another level.
There are several theories as to why there has been a delay in releasing the trailer for S2 of The Family Man, with each theories making sense in their own.
With the recent backlash faced by Amazon Prime Video due to their original shows such as ‘Tandav’ and ‘Mirzapur’, it was evident that the platform was preparing to undergo changes in their management. The streaming giant had to trim a few scenes from ‘Tandav’ which caused a nationwide uproar for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. Due to the ongoing controversies, the social media handles of Amazon Prime Video India were MIA from past few days.
But they made a comeback with a quirky twitter thread regarding the updates on fan fan favourite ‘The Family Man Season 2’. Although it seems that everything has comeback to normal and that the uproar has died down, it isn’t the end of problems for Amazon Prime Video yet.
The Family Man S2 is the next big original coming out in the month of February, but the show has also had its fair share of controversies from Season 1. The season 1 which released in 2019 was also dragged into the social media trial due to a certain scene involving Gul Panag and Manoj Bajpayee. The scene shows the duo conversing on the streets of Kashmir and exchanging a few dialogues which didn’t go to well with the audience or politicians. And with the cancel culture in its peak, there were the mentions of boycotting the espionage thriller as well.
Now, as the show gears up for a blockbuster season 2 with exciting additions to its cast and storylines, the makers and the platform will be hoping that with the explosive genre of the show and the paper thin sensitivity of the audience nowadays, everything turns out well and smooth.
One thing is clear, the second season of The Family Man will be watched closely by every strata of netizens and it will be a miracle for Amazon Prime Video if the show gets through a decent run without getting affected by the negativity.
