It was just a regular weekend until Amazon Prime Video decided to tease us with the first look of Panchayat Season 3. The much-loved show from The Viral Fever has won hearts in the last two seasons. The wait for Panchayat’s third season has been way too long since the last season ended on a high emotional note, draining the viewers.
Now, Amazon Prime Video has dropped stills from the third season. In one of the pictures, Sachiv Ji, played by Jitendra Kumar, is seen riding his bike with a backpack, probably making his way back to the village, his karma-bhoomi,
In another still, the trio from Phulera – Durgesh Kumar, who plays Bhushan; Faisal Malik, who plays Prahlad Pandey, and Ashok Pathak, who plays Binod can be seen sitting, probably passing yet another day in their little world which by the way is too happening to witness.
Panchayat Season 3 will be available on Amazon Prime Video. The last two seasons of the show are streaming on the platform. Both seasons have a set of 8 episodes, each focussing on the life of a village. The official synopsis of the show says, “A comedy-drama, which captures the journey of an engineering graduate Abhishek, who for lack of a better job option joins as secretary of a Panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh.”
When To Watch Panchayat Season 3
The second season of the show saw the lead, Abhishek, aka Sachiv Ji, taking much interest in the politics of the village and preparing for his CAT exams as well. The last episode ended on a post-credit scene, which hinted at Abhishek’s transfer order from Phulera village. The letter was read by Manju Devi (Neena Gupta), and not much was disclosed. The third season will stream from March 2024, and it is a long wait to know whether Abhishek goes to a new village after transfer or there is a twist in the tale.
