Is Panchayat Season 5 canceled or renewed?
Amazon Prime Video hasn’t renewed Panchayat Season 5. However, the makers’ and cast’s latest comments suggest that it’s likely in development and will arrive soon.
In an interview with OTTplay, Sanvikka, who plays Rinki, shared a positive update on the development of Season 5 and revealed a general timeframe for its release. She said, “The process for Panchayat Season 5 has begun, and hopefully, maybe by mid-next year or sometime in 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, so writing has started. So once the writing is done, we will start shooting.” (via APB Live)
Additionally, in another interview with India Today, Panchayat writer Chandan Kumar initially shared the challenges of doing more seasons. “The more seasons we do, the more expectations rise amongst fans. That is very challenging. Our attempt is not to do something completely out of the box. The story needs to be connected. There needs to be a prelude to everything that is happening. We don’t do anything random. We keep things interconnected.”
However, he assured that while filming Season 4, they did plan the direction and script for another outing. “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 further added. (via News 18) Although the team behind the series has greenlit Season 5, Amazon Prime Video has yet to make an official announcement.
All eight episodes of Panchayat Season 5 are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
