June 1, 2024 : Panchayat Season 4 is on a speed mode and is expected to arrive much faster, says the creator of the popular web series. In the heart of rural India, where the fields stretch like green carpets and the village panchayat holds court under a banyan tree, lies the charming world of Panchayat. This Amazon Prime Video series, created by Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, has captured our hearts with its simplicity, wit, and endearing characters.
The Phenomenon Called Panchayat: A Recap: Seasons 1 to 3
For those who haven’t yet dipped their toes into the dusty waters of Phulera, let’s rewind a bit. Panchayat premiered in March 2020, introducing us to Abhishek Tripathi (played brilliantly by Jitendra Kumar), an engineering graduate who reluctantly takes up the position of Secretary in the Gram Panchayat. His dreams of a corporate job in the city are replaced by the reality of rural governance—complete with power outages, quirky villagers, and a stubborn typewriter.
Season 1 was a delightful exploration of Abhishek’s struggles, his interactions with the eccentric Pradhan Pati (Raghuvir Yadav), and his attempts to bring change to the village. The humor was subtle, the dialogues razor-sharp, and the setting authentic.
Season 2, which arrived in May 2022, continued Abhishek’s journey. We witnessed his growth, the blossoming romance with Rinki (Faisal Malik), and the ever-present challenge of balancing tradition with progress. The village became our home, and its quirks our companions.
And then, just a few days ago, Season 3 graced our screens. Abhishek faced new dilemmas—should he stay or leave? The typewriter got an upgrade (yes, it’s a big deal in Phulera), and we laughed, sighed, and rooted for our favorite characters.
The Big Announcement: Season 4 and Beyond
Now, hold your breath, because here comes the exciting part. Director Deepak Kumar Mishra, in an exclusive interview with Press Trust of India, revealed that Panchayat Season 4 is already in the works! Yes, you read that right. While most shows keep us waiting in suspense, the creative team behind Panchayat is already penning down episodes for the next season. Mishra shared:
“We have started writing season four. For us, generally, there’s no break between two seasons. The third season is over, and we have written three to four episodes (of season four) of the show.”
But wait, there’s more! Mishra didn’t stop at Season 4. He casually dropped the bombshell that Season 5 is also on their radar. While the details are still sketchy, the team has “a broader idea” of what awaits Abhishek and the gang:
“So far, we have thought about making seasons four and five. For season four, we have a clear idea, and there is a broader idea for season five.”
When Can We Expect Season 4?
Now, the million-dollar question: When will Panchayat Season 4 hit our screens? While we can’t predict the exact date, let’s play detective. Season 1 arrived in 2020, Season 2 in 2022, and Season 3 in 2024. If we maintain this pattern, Season 4 might grace our screens in the first half of 2026. But here’s the twist: “three to four episodes” of Season 4 are already in development. If the stars align, we might get an early treat.
So, dear viewers, mark your calendars tentatively for 2026. Until then, revisit the first three seasons, laugh at Vikas’s (Chandan Roy) antics, and marvel at the wisdom of Pradhan Pati. Because in the world of Panchayat, even a typewriter has a story to tell.
Get ready for Panchayat Season 4, its on an accelerated mode.
