When Raj & DK launched The Family Man in 2019, starring Manoj Bajpayee in the lead role, it came as a breath of fresh air for Indian streaming audiences. The show raised the bar for Indian spy thrillers with its gripping storytelling and standout lead performance. Its second season took things a notch higher, earning even more critical acclaim. With the much-anticipated third installment set to arrive later this year, expectations are sky-high.

What’s Special Ops 2 All About
Set against the high-stakes backdrop of cyberterrorism and artificial intelligence, Special Ops 2 picks up with Himmat Singh (Kay Kay Menon) leading a new mission. After a senior RA&W officer is killed in Delhi and an AI scientist is kidnapped, he must act fast. But this time, the enemy is faceless and using advanced AI tools for a nationwide data breach. With everyone now a potential target, Himmat Singh and his elite team must stay one step ahead of the new and dangerous threat.
