The peaceful streets of Phulera are gearing up to buzz with excitement once more as we get closer to the much-anticipated release of Panchayat Season 5 on OTT. After four seasons that have captured hearts, the series led by Jitendra Kumar continues to thrive in popularity, and fans can hardly wait to see what happens next in this charming village that feels so real.
The new season is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video, where it has built a dedicated fanbase since it first launched. While the streaming service hasn’t revealed a specific release date yet, earlier updates suggest that Panchayat Season 5 is expected to drop sometime in 2026. To add to the thrill, actor Sanvikaa, who portrays Rinki in the show, has mentioned that the writing for the new season is already in progress, indicating that the creators are actively crafting the next chapter of this beloved story. According to her, we might see the series premiere between mid to late 2026.
At its core, Panchayat tells the story of Abhishek Tripathi, an urban graduate who, after struggling to land a city job, reluctantly takes on the role of secretary for a rural gram panchayat in Phulera. What starts as a source of frustration gradually transforms into a deep connection, as Abhishek becomes increasingly entwined in the village’s daily challenges, politics, relationships, and heartfelt moments.
Season 4 wrapped up with a bang, featuring a significant political upheaval in Phulera, where Kranti Dev triumphed over Manju Devi to take on the role of the new Pradhan. This power shift has set the stage for fresh conflicts, evolving relationships, and new dynamics among the villagers. As we look ahead to Season 5, we can expect a deep dive into these changes, all while weaving in humor, satire, and emotional storytelling—the very essence that has always made the show so special.

Brought to life by TVF and directed by Deepak Kumar, Panchayat first hit our screens in 2020 and quickly carved out a niche in the OTT landscape with its authentic storytelling and relatable characters. The talented ensemble cast, including Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Chandan Roy, Faisal Malik, Durgesh Kumar, Ashok Pathak, Sunita Rajwar, Pankaj Jha, and Sanvikaa, has truly made Phulera feel like a second home for viewers.
With its blend of simplicity, sharp writing, and touching moments, Panchayat Season 5 is already one of the most eagerly awaited Indian web series. Until an official release date is revealed, fans will just have to bide their time—perhaps by rewatching previous seasons—while eagerly counting down the days until they can return to Phulera.
