We keep things interconnected." 'The feedback was almost similar to what we had anticipated," Kumar reveals. 'Similarly, while Season 4 is releasing, we already have the direction and script for Season 5. We don't take the audience's love for granted. Every decision is made keeping in mind the world we've created and the people who've grown with it," he added. Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Neena Gupta reflected on Panchayat's phenomenal success. She said, 'I could have never thought this would be so successful.

Panchayat revolves around the story of Abhishek (Jitendra Kumar), an MBA aspirant who becomes the Panchayat Secretary of Phulera, a small village.

The entire narrative revolves around the election battle, with little to no development in the other subplots that once gave Panchayat its layered charm. We're left waiting until the second half of the final episode just to find out the election results, by then, the excitement has long worn off," a part of our review read. First Published:

Panchayat Season 4 Ending Explained: Who Wins Phulera And What To Expect In Season 5
Last Updated: Panchayat Season 4 ends with a surprise election result and heartbreak. Here's what it means and how it sets up Season 5. The finale of Panchayat Season 4 on Prime Video left fans with a bittersweet mix of closure and anticipation. While Jitendra Kumar's Abhishek Tripathi (Sachiv Ji) achieves a personal victory by clearing his MBA entrance exam with a 97 percentile, the village of Phulera is rocked by a political shake-up. Panchayat Season 4 continues from the tense ending of Season 3, where a gunshot disrupted the peaceful rhythm of village life. In the final episode, Abhishek nervously awaits his CAT results, which Rinki (Sanvikaa) checks and reveals with excitement. His achievement prompts a quiet celebration with Pradhan Ji (Raghubir Yadav), Prahlad (Faisal Malik), and Vikas (Chandan Roy). Later, an emotional Rinki confesses her fear of him leaving Phulera, leading to a tender exchange where both admit their feelings for each other. Meanwhile, political tensions culminate as the results of the fiercely contested Panchayat election are announced. Bhushan (Durgesh Kumar) and Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar), backed by MLA Chandrakishore (Pankaj Jha), defeat Manju Devi (Neena Gupta) by 73 votes. Binod, Bhushan's supporter, breaks down with emotion while Pradhan Ji is left devastated. The symbolic moment arrives when Manju Devi's name is replaced with Kranti Devi's on the office nameplate. When Bhushan asks if Sachiv Ji's name will remain, Abhishek dryly replies it will stay 'for at least 3–4 months," subtly hinting at his possible departure for MBA studies. Despite the emotional tone, the show ends on a positive note for fans of Abhishek and Rinki's budding romance. Abhishek finally texts her 'I love you," to which Rinki replies, 'I love you too," signaling a new beginning amid uncertainty. So, what's next? Season 5 is expected to tackle whether Abhishek will leave Phulera or choose love and community over career. Manju Devi's defeat may fuel a political comeback arc, while Prahlad could emerge as a stronger local leader or even MLA candidate. Though no official release date is out, actor Sanvikaa confirmed that Panchayat Season 5 is already in development, with shooting likely to begin by late 2025. As Panchayat blends small-town charm with larger political shifts, Season 5 promises deeper character arcs, more drama and maybe a big decision from Sachiv Ji. First Published:

Panchayat Season 5 In The Works? Sanvikaa AKA Rinki Shares Shooting And Release Timeline
Last Updated: Sanvikaa confirms Panchayat Season 5 is in development. Shooting may begin later this year, with a likely release in mid-2025. Here's what to expect. Fans of Panchayat were in for a delightful surprise when Season 4 of the much-loved rural dramedy arrived on Prime Video ahead of schedule. Originally slated for a July 2 release, the new season dropped on June 24, sending the internet into a celebratory frenzy. As expected, the trailer's promise of clever humor, grounded storytelling, and deeper emotional threads was fulfilled in full measure. This season picks up the simmering political tension in Phulera, with Manju Devi (played by Neena Gupta) locking horns with Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar), and the budding romance between Rinki (Sanvikaa) and Sachiv Ji (Jitendra Kumar) gaining emotional traction. While familiar faces like Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, and Pankaj Jha return to fill Phulera with their warmth and quirks, it's the evolving character arcs that elevate this chapter. 'The process for Panchayat Season 5 has begun," she confirmed. 'Hopefully, maybe by mid-next year or sometime next year, it will be released. And we are likely to begin the shoot for Season 5 maybe at the end of this year or next year. The writing has already started. So once the writing is done, we will start shooting." With stakes higher than ever in Phulera, viewers can expect a deeper dive into grassroots politics, interpersonal complexities, and more of the show's signature slice-of-life charm. Season 4 sets the tone for a larger narrative shift, teasing greater drama, power plays, and emotional reckonings. Produced by The Viral Fever (TVF), Panchayat continues to be helmed by writer Chandan Kumar and director Deepak Kumar Mishra, with creative direction by Akshat Vijaywargiya. As always, it remains rooted in authenticity while subtly expanding its canvas—and fan base—with each season. With Season 4 now streaming and Season 5 already underway, it's safe to say: Phulera is far from done telling its story. First Published:
