Good news for fans of the beloved rural drama Panchayat — Season 5 has officially been confirmed and is on track for release in 2026. After the record-breaking success of Panchayat Season 4 on Amazon Prime Video, makers have already kicked off development on the fifth instalment, keeping the much-loved world of Phulera alive for viewers once again.
Season 5 Confirmed and In Production
Prime Video and The Viral Fever (TVF) officially announced Panchayat Season 5 following the massive response to Season 4, which premiered on June 24, 2025 and became a global hit. The announcement came with a social-media poster signalling the return of the Phulera gang, much to the delight of fans.
Even though an exact streaming date hasn’t been revealed yet, multiple reports suggest Season 5 is expected to release around mid-2026, potentially between May and June — contingent on script finalisation and shooting schedules. Writing is currently underway, and filming is expected to start toward late 2025 or early 2026.
What the New Season Could Explore
Season 4 left audiences with several compelling storylines and shifts in village dynamics — including Sachiv Ji’s (Abhishek Tripathi) future plans after clearing the CAT exam and Kranti Devi’s tenure as the new Pradhan of Phulera. Season 5 is anticipated to delve deeper into:
- Sachiv Ji’s emotional journey, torn between career opportunities and village life
- Shifting political landscapes in Phulera under Kranti Devi’s leadership
- The evolving bond between Sachiv Ji and Rinki as their lives mature
These narrative strands are expected to maintain the show’s signature blend of humour, heart and pointed yet gentle commentary on rural India.
Cast & Creative Continuity
The core ensemble that made Panchayat a household favourite is expected to return, including:
- Jitendra Kumar as Abhishek Tripathi
- Neena Gupta as Manju Devi
- Raghubir Yadav as Pradhan Ji
- Sanvikaa as Rinki
- Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, Pankaj Jha and others
The series continues to be created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, and directed by Akshat Vijaywargiya and Deepak Kumar Mishra — ensuring both continuity and depth in storytelling.
Why Fans Are Excited
Panchayat has carved a rare space in Indian streaming content for its gentle, character-driven approach and relatable humour rooted in rural life. Its success across India and in multiple countries has made it one of Prime Video’s most streamed Indian series — a trend that Season 5 is expected to continue.
The measured pacing between seasons has added to its charm, giving audiences time to savour each chapter of Phulera’s life and anticipate what comes next with genuine excitement.
