'Panchayat Season 5': Expected release, returning cast, and what's next for Phulera
The wait for Panchayat Season 5 has officially begun. Fans of the heartwarming village drama can look forward to returning to Phulera—possibly as early as mid-2026. Release Timeline and Production Update Actress Sanvikaa, who plays Rinki, recently confirmed to OTT Play that Panchayat Season 5 is in development. 'Hopefully by mid-next year or sometime in next year, it will be released,' she said, offering fans a rough timeline. Supporting her statement, writer Chandan Kumar revealed that the script and direction are already taking shape. However, filming is yet to begin. The shoot is expected to commence later this year or in early 2026, depending on how quickly the writing phase wraps up. Beloved Cast Returns to Phulera The original ensemble that brought life to Phulera is expected to return. Jitendra Kumar will reprise his role as Abhishek Tripathi, along with Neena Gupta (Manju Devi), Raghubir Yadav (Pradhan Ji), Faisal Malik (Prahlad Pandey), Chandan Roy (Vikas), Tripti Sah (Khushboo), and Sanvikaa (Rinki). What to Expect in Season 5 Season 4 ended on a political cliffhanger. Fans are hopeful for a return to the simpler joys of village life. Key arcs may include Abhishek's dilemma over his CAT results—will he leave for Delhi or stay for Rinki and Phulera? Pradhan Ji might reclaim his political stature, while the romantic arcs involving Abhishek-Rinki and Vikas-Khushboo could take centre stage. As excitement builds, Panchayat Season 5 promises not just laughter and nostalgia, but also heartfelt explorations of love, community, and purpose in India's rural heartland. 'Panchayat 4' - our verdict We gave the latest season a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5 and our ETimes review read, "Season four centers on the rivalry between the factions of Pradhan Ji and Bhushan. Tensions rise with the approaching elections. Abhishek is assaulted by Chandu's men; Bhushan informs on Vikas, leading to the raid. In a bid to shift loyalties, Pradhan Ji invites Binod for dinner. The season plays out like a series of loosely linked village episodes rather than a tightly woven plot."
