Panchayat Season 5 Is in the Works, But Fans Will Have to Wait

In a recent interview with News18, Sanvikaa confirmed that Panchayat season 5 is currently being scripted. While this reassures fans that the show is moving forward, the timeline has shifted. According to the actress, the series is expected to go on floors in late 2026 or early 2027. As a result, a release before 2027 is unlikely.

Earlier, season 5 was expected to begin filming in 2025, but production delays pushed the schedule. The update clarifies the long wait and sets realistic expectations for viewers eager to return to Phulera.

When and How Was Panchayat Season 5 Confirmed?

The fifth season was first confirmed by Sanvikaa herself in a conversation with OTTplay, even before the release of season 4. She revealed that scripting had already begun, confirming that the makers were committed to continuing the story.

A few months later, in July 2025, the makers officially announced Panchayat season 5 by sharing a poster, further solidifying the news. While the upcoming season is currently being touted as the final chapter of the franchise, there has been no official confirmation on whether it will indeed be the last.
