Mumbai, July 8: One of India’s most cherished web series, Panchayat, is set to return with a brand-new season — and the excitement among fans is already palpable. While viewers are still soaking in the drama and charm of Season 4, the creators have now dropped a major update that’s bound to delight fans. Season 5 has been officially confirmed, with a release scheduled for 2026.
The announcement was made via Prime Video X (formerly Twitter), where the streaming platform teased the new chapter with a nostalgic message:
“Yes, get ready to return to Phulera once again. The new season of Panchayat is coming soon.”
Accompanying the announcement was a new poster that’s creating quite the buzz. It features Vinamrata Chowki seated regally, while the ever-animated duo Banrakas and Vikas are seen lifting her chair. Surrounding them are beloved characters — Manju Devi, Abhishek Tripathi, Rinki, Brij Bhushan, Prahlad Pandey, and Kranti Devi — all striking a cheerful pose that hints at yet another entertaining season ahead.
Since its debut, Panchayat has carved a unique place in the hearts of viewers. Set in the fictional village of Phulera, the series beautifully balances humor, social commentary, and heartfelt storytelling. With four successful seasons already out on OTT, Panchayat has consistently delivered not only laughs but also memorable characters and emotionally rich narratives.
The recently released Season 4 (which premiered on June 24) centered around high-stakes village politics, specifically the Panchayat elections. Kranti Devi and Manju Devi faced off in a tightly contested battle for leadership. After a tense campaign, Kranti Devi clinched victory, marking a significant shift in the village’s power dynamics.
Meanwhile, Secretary Abhishek Tripathi — played with subtle brilliance — achieved a personal milestone by clearing the CAT exam with an impressive 97% score. However, he isn't bidding goodbye to Phulera just yet. With a few more months left in the village, fans can expect his evolving relationship with Rinki to deepen, as their much-anticipated love story finally begins to unfold.
With Season 5 on the horizon, expectations are high. Will Abhishek move on to pursue his MBA dreams? What lies ahead for Kranti Devi’s leadership? And how will the political landscape of Phulera continue to shift?
While 2026 might feel a little far away, one thing is certain: Panchayat’s next chapter promises more heart, humor, and wholesome storytelling that fans have come to love. And as always, Phulera will be waiting.
