The highly anticipated fourth season of the hit web series "Panchayat" is generating buzz, with a recent promo hinting at a possible early release. While the official release date is slated for July 2, 2025, a new promotional video has sparked speculation among fans that the show might arrive sooner than expected.
The promo, which takes the form of a quirky political campaign, showcases the rivalry between Manju Devi, played by Neena Gupta, and Kranti Devi, portrayed by Sunita Rajwar. The two characters engage in a humorous battle for the support of the villagers of Phulera, promising outlandish and unrealistic developments such as four-lane roads, airbag-fitted cycles and even a runway for auto-rickshaws.
Adding to the intrigue, Jitendra Kumar, who plays the role of Sachiv Ji (Abhishek Tripathi), breaks the fourth wall in the promo. He addresses the audience directly, suggesting a unique proposition: viewers can vote for their preferred candidate, Manju Devi or Kranti Devi, on a dedicated website, panchayatvoting.com, potentially unlocking early access to "Panchayat Season 4".
This interactive approach has created considerable excitement among fans, who are eager to see the next chapter in Abhishek's journey as a Panchayat secretary in the rural setting of Phulera, Uttar Pradesh. The series has garnered immense popularity for its realistic portrayal of village life, its blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling, and its relatable characters.
"Panchayat Season 4" is expected to delve deeper into the relationships between the main characters, including the evolving romantic interest between Abhishek and Rinki, Pradhan Ji's daughter. The reactions of Pradhan Ji and Manju Devi to this budding romance are also anticipated to be a focal point of the new season.
The series is produced by The Viral Fever (TVF), with Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar serving as creators. Mishra and Akshat Vijaywargiya share directing duties, while Chandan Kumar is also credited as the writer. The familiar cast, including Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha, will reprise their roles.
As the official release date approaches, the question remains: Will the voting campaign indeed lead to an early release of "Panchayat Season 4?" Fans are encouraged to participate and cast their votes, adding an interactive dimension to the anticipation surrounding the show's return. All eight episodes of the new season will be available on Amazon Prime Video.
