June 24, 2025: With the curtain having just closed on Panchayat Season 4—complete with political upheaval, a poignant cliffhanger, and plenty of emotional suspense—fans are already buzzing about a potential Season 5. So, will it happen? Here’s the latest:
🔍 Official status:
- As of June 24, 2025, neither Amazon Prime Video nor TVF has formally confirmed Panchayat Season 5, though Season 4 ended on a major cliffhanger and creators have hinted at more to come.
- Director Deepak Kumar Mishra, speaking back in May 2024, confirmed plans stretching at least two more seasons beyond Season 4—and that writing for Season 4 was already underway even as Season 3 was airing.
📅 Expected timeline:
- Considering the show’s usual two-year production cadence—2020, 2022, 2024—and the recent Season 4 release in June 2025, speculation suggests Season 5 could arrive sometime in 2026 .
- However, given the momentum and the unresolved cliffhangers (especially Abhishek’s fate and the power dynamics in Phulera), it may debut earlier subject to filming schedules and post-production logistics.
👥 What lies ahead:
- The finale of Season 4 saw Kranti Devi and Bhushan unseat Manju Devi and Pradhan Ji, leaving Phulera reeling in political turmoil—and importantly, Abhishek Tripathi’s future in the village remains uncertain.
- Season 5 would likely pick up these threads: Will Abhishek stay or stray? How will Phulera’s power structure evolve? And can viewers expect any resolution to the unsaid tension between Abhishek and Rinki?
✅ In summary:
- No official renewal yet, though insider signals are strong.
- Director Mishra suggests two more seasons are planned.
- Expect a 2026 release, potentially earlier depending on production speed.
- Storylines tied to unresolved cliffhangers make Season 5 highly anticipated.
Panchayat Season 5 Cast: Who’s Likely to Return?
While there’s no official cast confirmation for Panchayat Season 5 just yet, fans can safely expect the return of the core ensemble that has made the series a favorite.
Jitendra Kumar is likely to reprise his role as Abhishek Tripathi, fondly known as Sachiv ji, who continues to navigate the tricky crossroads of personal ambition and local politics. His emotional journey and growing connection with the people of Phulera will likely remain central to the story.
Veteran actors Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta are also expected to return as Pradhan ji and Manju Devi, now in a politically displaced but still influential position.
Season 5 will probably pick up in a tense and emotionally charged Phulera, following the political upheaval seen in Season 4. Sunita Rajwar (Kranti Devi) and Durgesh Kumar (Bhushan), who are now in positions of power, will continue to play antagonistic roles, further deepening the village’s political complexity.
Faisal Malik (Prahlad), Chandan Roy (Vikas), and Pankaj Jha (former MLA Chandrakishore Singh) are also expected to make a comeback, continuing their significant contributions to the layered narrative.
With the gradual shift from local to state and even national politics in the previous season, viewers can anticipate new characters entering the mix. Swanand Kirkire, who was introduced as the Saansad ji (Member of Parliament), may take on a more prominent role in Season 5 as the series expands its political universe.
Whether it’s old allies, emerging rivals, or new political players—Season 5 of Panchayat promises to bring back familiar faces and possibly introduce new ones to shake things up in Phulera once again.
