Panchayat Season 5: What to Expect from the Upcoming Chapter in Phulera's Story

The rural charm of Panchayat continues to win hearts with its blend of humor, realism, and grounded storytelling. With Season 4 of the beloved Amazon Prime Video series now streaming, fans are already speculating about what lies ahead in Season 5. And there’s good news — according to actress Sanvikaa, who plays Rinki, the next season is indeed happening, and production work is already underway.

Panchayat Season 5: Is it confirmed?

While Amazon Prime Video has yet to make an official announcement, Sanvikaa recently confirmed in an interview with OTTPlay that work has begun on her part for Season 5. The show’s writing team is currently developing the storyline, and the shoot is expected to begin later this year.

Based on the show’s release pattern — Season 1 (2020), Season 2 (2022), Season 3 (2024), and Season 4 (2025) — it’s likely that Panchayat Season 5 will premiere sometime between mid to late 2026.

Season 4 Recap: A Cliffhanger Ending

Season 4, which premiered on June 24, 2025, concluded with several unanswered questions that strongly hint at another season. Among them:

• Who shot Pradhan Ji?

• Will Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) leave Phulera to pursue his MBA?

• What happens to his relationship with Rinki?

• How will Kranti Devi’s administration impact the village as the new Pradhan?

While Season 4 retained the show’s slow-paced, slice-of-life tone, the increasing political drama left some fans divided. Though the emotional core remained, many felt the humor took a backseat this time around.

New Beginnings, Old Questions

A significant emotional arc in Season 4 was the budding romance between Abhishek and Rinki. After Abhishek scores an impressive 97 percentile in the CAT exam, he and Rinki finally confess their feelings to each other. But with his potential move for an MBA, the future of their relationship remains uncertain — a narrative that could form a central theme in Season 5.

Meanwhile, the rise of Kranti Devi as the new Pradhan and the unexplained attack on Pradhan Ji have left fans with much to anticipate in terms of political power shifts in Phulera.

 Returning Cast & Creative Team

The ensemble cast — including Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Chandan Roy, Faisal Malik, and Sanvikaa — is expected to return in the new season. The series is written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, under The Viral Fever (TVF) banner.

Where to Watch

All four seasons of Panchayat are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. If you're new to the show or want a refresher before Season 5 lands, now’s the perfect time to binge-watch.

While the release of Panchayat Season 5 is still some time away, the confirmation from the cast has given fans plenty to look forward to. With open storylines, deepening character arcs, and unresolved mysteries, the next season promises to deliver another engaging chapter in the life of Phulera.

Stay tuned — the panchayat politics, heartfelt moments, and light-hearted humor aren’t going away anytime soon.
