Its first season premiered on July 12, 2018 on TVFPlay, set in the summer of 1998 in the Gupta household of Jaipur, and the series was later revived on Amazon miniTV with three further seasons between 2023 and 2024, shifting to the Awasthi family and to earlier points in the decade.<sup>[1](https://myvantagepoint.in/tvfs-latest-series-yeh-meri-family-starts-streaming-on-tvfplay/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/entertainment/yeh-meri-family-season-3-minitv)</sup>\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original run | Season 1 first aired July 12, 2018 on TVFPlay; seven episodes set in the summer of 1998<sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://myvantagepoint.in/tvfs-latest-series-yeh-meri-family-starts-streaming-on-tvfplay/)</sup> |\n| Creator | Sameer Saxena, TVF's Chief Content Officer and Head of TVF Originals at the time of season 1<sup>[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/yeh_meri_family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[1](https://myvantagepoint.in/tvfs-latest-series-yeh-meri-family-starts-streaming-on-tvfplay/)</sup> |\n| Revival | Seasons 2 (May 19, 2023), 3 (April 4, 2024), and 4 (August 16, 2024) on Amazon miniTV, five episodes each<sup>[5](https://isitback.com/show/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtWyiIL5_So)</sup> |\n| Family on screen | Season 1 follows the Gupta family of Jaipur; the revived seasons follow the Awasthi family, with parents Neerja and Sanjay, daughter Ritika, and son Rishi<sup>[1](https://myvantagepoint.in/tvfs-latest-series-yeh-meri-family-starts-streaming-on-tvfplay/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.sunshineproductions.in/project/yeh-meri-family-season-2-3/)</sup> |\n| Lead cast | Season 1: Vishesh Bansal, Mona Singh, Akarsh Khurana; seasons 2 to 4: Hetal Gada, Anngad Raaj, Rajesh Kumar, Juhi Parmar, Veena Mehta<sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.sunshineproductions.in/project/yeh-meri-family-season-2-3/)</sup> |\n| Scale | Four seasons and 22 episodes, with an average runtime of about 34 minutes<sup>[8](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/yeh-meri-family)</sup> |\n| Reception | IMDb rating of 8.9/10 from about 28,000 votes<sup>[8](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/yeh-meri-family)</sup> |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Season 1 (2018)\n\nThe first season is a seven-episode story set in the Gupta household over the summer vacations of 1998, narrated from the perspective of twelve-year-old Harshu ([Vishesh Bansal](https://www.edgepedia.org/vishesh-bansal)) about his conflicting emotions toward his family members. Each episode revolves around a specific relationship within the family; the early episodes cover Harshu's tuition classes and his school crush Vidya, and the second episode depicts how mothers strive to make a child's birthday the most special day of the year.<sup>[1](https://myvantagepoint.in/tvfs-latest-series-yeh-meri-family-starts-streaming-on-tvfplay/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup>\n\n**Cast and production.** [Mona Singh](https://www.edgepedia.org/mona-singh) played the mother and Akarsh Khurana the father, with Ahan Nirban as elder brother Dabbu, Ruhi Khan as younger sister Dhwani, Prasad Reddy as Harshu's friend Shanky, and Revathi Pillai as Vidhya. Sameer Saxena created the series and directed it with Raahib Siddiqui and Mandar Kurundkar.<sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/yeh_meri_family)</sup>\n\n**Branded-content origin.** The season was created in partnership with the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI), with financial-literacy themes woven subtly into the narrative. Given the series' popularity, Netflix later collaborated with TVF to make the show available on that platform.<sup>[9](https://asiasponsorshipnews.com/amfi-branded-content-tvf/)</sup> TVF's own promotional material for the revival described season 1 as one of its flagship shows, citing an IMDb rating of 9/10 with 24,000 votes at that time.<sup>[10](https://tma-live.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/referenceArtworks/1694071514209/top%20shows11.pdf)</sup>\n\n## The revival: seasons 2 to 4 (2023 to 2024)\n\nAfter a five-year gap, the franchise returned on Amazon miniTV, Amazon's free streaming service, with a recast family named Awasthi and stories set earlier in the decade.<sup>[3](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/entertainment/yeh-meri-family-season-3-minitv)</sup>\n\n**Season 2** premiered on May 19, 2023. Set in the winter of 1994, it shifts the point of view to Ritika, the family's elder daughter, a teenager balancing school, family, friendship, dreams, and the challenges of growing up. It stars Hetal Gada as Ritika, Anngad Raaj as her younger brother Rishi, Rajesh Kumar and [Juhi Parmar](https://www.edgepedia.org/juhi-parmar) as the parents, and Veena Mehta as the grandmother; Mandar Kurundkar directed.<sup>[6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtWyiIL5_So)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.sunshineproductions.in/project/yeh-meri-family-season-2-3/)</sup> Its five episodes are titled Apna Kamra, Party, Cable TV, Parent Teacher Meeting, and Blank Call.<sup>[5](https://isitback.com/show/yeh-meri-family)</sup>\n\n**Season 3** premiered on April 4, 2024, set in the spring of 1995. The cast remained the same as season 2, but the narrative moved to the eyes of ten-year-old Rishi (Anngad Raaj), a mischievous boy, as the Awasthi household navigates everyday ups and downs; the sibling relationship between Rishi and Ritika moves between rivalry and revelry as Rishi begins to come of age.<sup>[3](https://www.aboutamazon.in/news/entertainment/yeh-meri-family-season-3-minitv)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.sunshineproductions.in/project/yeh-meri-family-season-2-3/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://news.abplive.com/entertainment/ott/yeh-meri-family-season-3-review-starring-rajesh-kumar-juhi-parmar-90s-magic-is-missing-1677412/amp)</sup> Its episodes are Same Pinch, Holi Hai, Tit for Tat, Happy Birthday, and Moonchh.<sup>[5](https://isitback.com/show/yeh-meri-family)</sup> Amazon miniTV marked the season's performance with a fan-engagement campaign, \"Meri Family Watching Yeh Meri Family,\" and made the season available through the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, Smart TVs, and the Play Store.<sup>[12](https://archive.adgully.com/amazon-minitv-marks-yeh-meri-family-s3-success-with-fan-billboard-144642.html)</sup>\n\n**Season 4** premiered on August 16, 2024, again with five episodes: Independence Day, Manglu, Bhai Ho To Aisa, Heels, and Dosti = Pyaar?.<sup>[5](https://isitback.com/show/yeh-meri-family)</sup> Juhi Parmar, returning as Neerja, described the character as her debut to OTT and one that takes audiences down nostalgia lanes.<sup>[13](https://www.yugmarg.com/edition/2024/08/13/pages.pdf)</sup>\n\n## Reception and availability\n\nThe series holds an IMDb rating of 8.9/10 from about 28,000 votes, and aggregators list it across the comedy, drama, and family genres with a TV-PG-style rating.<sup>[8](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/yeh-meri-family)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://thetvdb.com/series/yeh-meri-family)</sup> Reviewers responded warmly to the nostalgia but noted diminishing returns over time: a review of season 3 wrote that while viewers may relate to the Awasthi family, the charm that defined the first season seemed somewhat diluted, and another called the format nostalgic but increasingly stereotypical.<sup>[11](https://news.abplive.com/entertainment/ott/yeh-meri-family-season-3-review-starring-rajesh-kumar-juhi-parmar-90s-magic-is-missing-1677412/amp)</sup>\n\nAs of the most recent listings, all four seasons stream on Amazon MX Player, Amazon Prime Video Free with Ads, and [MX Player](https://www.edgepedia.org/mx-player) free with ads in India.<sup>[8](https://www.justwatch.com/in/tv-show/yeh-meri-family)</sup> No new season has been scheduled since the August 2024 release.<sup>[5](https://isitback.com/show/yeh-meri-family)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
