The beauty of Panchayat lies in its sheer simplicity, the warmth it radiates, and the slow-burn evolution of character development. And since the big release of Season 4 is just about to surround us, a handful of viewers, especially new fans, are wondering if it’s okay to just start watching from Season 4? The short answer? You’ll enjoy it a lot more if you watch the first three seasons. Here’s why that matters.
The Story Builds Over Time
Panchayat is not a show where each season stands on its own. The story seamlessly transitions from one season to another. Season 4 picks up from the jaw-dropping and emotional cliffhanger from Season 3, and if you haven’t seen the earlier seasons, the developments would likely hold no pathway to your hearts.
The narrative follows Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar), an engineering graduate turned panchayat secretary in the remote village of Phulera. His journey from frustration and isolation to forming close-knit bonds with villagers is a slow, steady build over the first three seasons. This organic progression is what gives the show its emotional heft, especially in Season 4, where relationships are tested, and decisions carry weight from past seasons.

Characters You Need to Grow With
One of the best parts of Panchayat is how deeply we get to know each character over time. Whether it’s Pradhan Ji, Manju Devi, Vikas, Prahlad, or Rinki — each of them grows with every season. Their jokes, emotions, and conflicts carry more meaning when you’ve been with them through their ups and downs.
For example, Prahlad’s emotional arc in Season 3 is something that hits hard only if you’ve seen how his character developed in the earlier episodes. And the slowly building connection between Abhishek and Rinki will feel much more special if you’ve watched their story unfold from the beginning.
Final Thoughts
Sure, you can jump into Season 4, but doing that would be like starting a novel from the final chapter. You’ll miss the buildup, the bonding, and the slow-burning charm that makes Panchayat so special.
So, if you want to truly enjoy the laughter, emotion, and simplicity that this show offers, start with Season 1. It’s not just worth it; it’s essential. After all, the magic of Panchayat lies in its journey, not just the destination. All the previous seasons are available now for streaming on Prime Video.
