Panchayat 5 Release: After the phenomenal success of Panchayat 4, Prime Video has announced that a brand new season is already in development and will premiere in 2026. Since its debut on Prime Video in 2018, Panchayat has consistently won hearts and earned critical acclaim. The announcement of the new season comes as a delight for fans, who are on a cliffhanger over the fate of the latest season's village politics.
Contrary to the poster of Panchayat 4, the new glimpse from the upcoming season has all the characters in a joyful mood. While the Manju Devi Vs Kranti Devi battle continues to exists, the light-hearted poster, with everyone smiling wide, will leave you excited for a whole new season of joyride and challenges. Not to forget, lauki (bottle gourd) plays a key feature in the new poster. 'Hi 5 Phulera wapas aane ki taiyyaari shuru kar lijiye #PanchayatOnPrime, New Season, Coming Soon," read the caption. Take a look:
Vijay Koshy, President, The Viral Fever (TVF), shared details of Panchayat Season 5. He said, 'It has been a truly extraordinary journey collaborating with Prime Video to bring Panchayat to life and witness its incredible growth over the years," adding, 'This series holds a special place in our hearts, as it beautifully captures the charm, humor, and nuances of rural India, celebrating the power of simple, human storytelling. Panchayat reflects the shared vision and values we hold with Prime Video: to tell meaningful, relatable stories that resonate with audiences across geographies. We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming love Season 4 has received—not just from viewers across India, but from audiences around the world. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible cast and crew whose passion and dedication made this journey possible, and to the fans whose unwavering support continues to inspire us. We're excited for what lies ahead and look forward to bringing Season 5 to audiences in 2026."
Previously, Sanvikaa, also plays Rinki on the show, exclusively told News18 Showsha that Panchayat Season 5 is officially in the works. 'Yes, yes, yes, definitely. It is happening," Sanvikaa said, addressing the much-asked question. 'The writing is still in the process, and hopefully we should go on floors maybe by the end of November or the start of next year." However, she kept details about the plot tightly under wraps.
Teasing fans about the unresolved storyline, especially between her character Rinki and Jitendra Kumar's Sachiv ji, she said, 'That's why we left the season at that point, so we can take it up in the next season. But what is happening with Sachiv ji's and Rinki's life? We have no idea!" She added that only the writers and the director know what's coming next, and fans should let them know they want to see more of the pair together.
Produced by The Viral Fever, Panchayat is created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, written by Chandan Kumar and directed by Akshat Vijaywargiya and Deepak Kumar Mishra. The series features a much-loved cast, including Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, Ashok Pathak and Pankaj Jha.
