Jeetendra Kumar and Neena Gupta's hit series, 'Panchayat' is back for season 5. Read on to know all about it!
Panchayat is one of the most famous OTT series, which has gained a loyal fanbase. So far, the show has released four seasons. And now, the makers announced that Panchayat is making a comeback for its fifth instalment. It is worth mentioning that season four recorded the strongest opening, and it surpassed all previous seasons' viewership. It proved that fans loved the narrative and that it attracted many people.
As reported by Zoom, Panchayat is definitely making a comeback. A source close to the production revealed in a Zoom report. The fifth season is under development, and the cast is shooting for it. It might go on the floor after the writing and pre-production work are completed. However, no definite release date has been announced, and it will be released after post-production schedules and creative approvals. It is worth noting that Prime Video had earlier teased the show's return on its official social media handle. They shared a poster and captioned it as:
"Hi 5! Phulera wapas aane ki taiyyaari shuru kar lijiye. #PanchayatOnPrime, New Season, Coming Soon."
The Director and Head of Content Licensing at Prime Video India also confirmed that season five is in the making, and they are looking forward to continuing the journey of 'Phulera' and its beloved character. It shows that Prime Video is confident that season five is going to be another hit as the previous seasons have delivered strong viewership, critical acclaim and deep cultural resonance across the nation. The show's release was also confirmed by 'Rinki', played by Sanvikaa. She, in an earlier media interaction, revealed that the writing on the show has started, and they are hoping to begin the shoot either at the end of 2025 or sometime next year. She shared that the show might hit the OTT platform in June 2026. She said:
"The writing has started. We’re hoping to begin shooting either at the end of this year or sometime next year. If all goes well, fans can expect Season 5 around May or June 2026."
It is worth mentioning that the plotline details have been kept extremely guarded before the release of season 5. However, it will start from where season four ended — the unresolved political and emotional arcs. Viewers of the series will witness continued power struggles in village politics. The show will focus on the characters 'Abhishek', 'Pradhan Ji', 'Manji Devi', and the social dynamics in 'Phulera'. With TVF's track record, the makers are likely produce an amazing script which will be a blend of humour, realism and emotional depth.
As season 5 is officially confirmed, fans should get ready to witness the journey to Phulera, as it is not going to end anytime soon. It is India's most loved and emotionally grounded series, and it is going to return on OTT in late 2026. However, if you still want to witness the magic of Panchayat, then all four seasons are available on Amazon Prime Video.
