The digital shows are received very well in India and ‘The Family Man 2‘ is one of the most praised shows amongst many.
Season 1 ended on a high and left viewers asking for more. Season 2 has been in the making but rumors suggested that it has been shelved.
Yesterday, a news report came in that shocked the fans of The Family Man. As per this news article, Amazon Prime has canceled season 2 of The Family Man. Thankfully, in less than two hours after this news was published, director duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, aka Raj and DK, tweeted, in reply to this news, with just two letters – ‘BS’ (bullsh*t).
A source tells Bollywood Hungama, “What Raj and DK tweeted is right. There’s no way the season is getting canceled. We were quite shocked when this report came in. There’s no truth to it at all.”

One of the first shows of Amazon Prime India this year was Tandav, starring Saif Ali Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, Sarah Jane Dias and Sunil Grover. The show got into major trouble after allegations were raised that it hurt religious sentiments. Due to this the government stepped in and decided to formulate and implement guidelines for the OTT shows. There have been reports that The Family Man 2 has been delayed due to this reason. Some also claim that the season is being reshot.
The sources clarifies that nothing is being reshot. The source reveals, “Nothing in the show is getting reshot. Raj and DK have already moved on to their next web series, starring Shahid Kapoor. And no, Amazon Prime is not even censoring anything. There’s nothing in the show that needs to be removed.”
“The OTT guidelines are now in place and to put it into motion, Amazon Prime is taking the time. It’s the new rule and to follow it, Amazon has taken the time and hence, it has decided to delay the second installment. That’s all,” the source continued.
While talking about the release date, the source says “It’ll be out in the summers. So expect it to release in May or June 2021.”
The Family Man 2 also marks the digital debut of Southern actress Samantha Akkineni.
