'The Family Man', a spy thriller is going to be back but it is going to be a very long wait. The show is expected to be released in 2025, and filmmaker Krishna DK announced on Sunday that the third season of the show will go on floors in the coming months.

The filmmaker revealed that a "significant portion" of the future season of the show will be based on Northeastern themes, emphasizing the region's complicated geopolitics, in an interview with PTI during the ongoing 8th Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival here.

"We are yet to come and scout for locations, but that process should start soon. We will start interacting with local people here. We are still figuring out how to get things started. It's in the development phase," Krishna said.

Manoj Bajpayee's "The Family Man" saw the release of its first and second seasons in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

The director said "hopefully" in 2025 when asked when the third season of the show¡ªwhich is among the most watched OTT shows in India¡ªwould be released.

"These things take a while -- post production, release etc. I let the studio talk about the release date. It's a long process -- shooting takes so many months, post-production takes so many more months and the release itself takes a few months," he added.

Regarding 'The Family Man' Season 3, Krishna hinted that there will be a "significant portion" in the Northeast but declined to divulge any details.

"I'll keep it under wraps. You've seen the show ¨C 'The Family Man' 1 and 2. We like to go around and showcase different parts of the country and its geopolitics. In Season 1, we dealt with Kashmir, we dealt with Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka in Season 2.¡±

"This one (Season 3) I would like to keep under wraps what exactly it is about, but you get a sense of the kind of show it is. We tend to be balanced and sensitive about issues," he added.

According to Krishna, a large number of regional artists from the Northeast will be featured in the next season in order to portray the true nature of the locations in the area.

"One of the important things about 'The Family Man' is we want to be authentic. Whichever region we are showing, we have taken out the form from that region to portray its own culture. It'll be a crime to take some reels and portray some other cultures," he added.

The first and season season are streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
