The second season of Raj and DK's popular Web series will now be aired in June!

The date is yet to be finalised.

A source close to the development tells Subhash K Jha: "Ever since the February streaming date was postponed by Amazon, there has been an ongoing speculation on the new release date. Well, we can put all speculation to rest. It is June."

 

Amazon Prime Video had taken a beating in India with two of their most successful shows Mirzapur and Tandav coming under the scanner for allegedly hurting popular sentiments.

So Amazon didn't feel the atmosphere was conducive to the release of a big franchise like The Family Man on February 12, its original release date.

Showrunners Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK had nothing to do with the postponement. In fact, as far as they were concerned, the series was ready for streaming whenever the channel decided to do so.

While Manoj Bajpayee, Priyamani and Sharib Hashmi return in the second season, Samantha Akkineni makes her debut on the show.
