Panchayat Season 5: Finally! One of the most adored village comedy-drama series, Panchayat, is set for the fifth season. After the massive success with the news of Season 4 release on June 24, the fans were awaiting any further announcement. Amazon Prime Video announced that Panchayat will be released in 2026 for exclusive streaming on their platform.
Unlike some OTT shows that have dark, dramatic plots with shocking twists, Panchayat is simplicity incarnate. It beautifully portrays the fun, tenderness, and struggles of everyday village life. The delicate balance between comedy and sorrow has made it one of the most relatable shows, be it for an Indian or a foreign audience.
Season 4 ended quite dramatically, with Manju Devi losing her Pradhan seat to Kranti Devi. Meanwhile, Sachiv Ji (Jitendra Kumar) celebrated clearing his CAT exam, a major turnaround in his life. Will he stay back in Phulera for good or just leave the village behind after success? Another big storyline that has piqued the curiosity of viewers is his budding closeness with Rinki. Kranti Devi’s adjustment to her new responsibilities as Pradhan will create a very different yet interesting layer to the story. The first teasers already disclosed the city-inspired quirkiness of the village, such as the lauki (bottle gourd), teasing the audience.
