The key questions that remained unanswered at the end of Season 3 included: 'Who shot Pradhanji? 'Was it the MLA or someone else? 'Will Abhishek clear his CAT exam and be admitted to IIM?' What will be the outcome of the Panchayat elections? 'Will peace return to Phulera, or will the violence escalate further?' These questions continue to dominate the minds of fans as they await the release of Season 4.
Season 4 promises to pick up right from where season 3 left off, delving into the aftermath of the political violence and the unresolved questions surrounding the Panchayat elections. If the teaser trailer is anything to go by, Phulera appears to have turned into a political battleground, with campaign slogans, fiery rallies, and underhanded tactics. The contest for the Pradhan's seat intensifies between Manju Devi and Kranti Devi.
The upcoming season will see the return of Jitendra Kumar as Sachiv Ji, alongside Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha–each contributing to the growing political tension in Phulera.
Created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, and directed by Mishra along with Akshat Vijaywargiya, the new season promises to bring back the show's signature blend of satire, warmth, and rustic charm.
