After a successful three-season run, Panchayat Season 4 is widely admired and has become a major success for Amazon Prime Video. The village-set series, often hailed as a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is loved for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters. Many fans consider it one of the finest Indian web series of recent times. They are now eagerly waiting for Panchayat Season 5, which is slated to release in 2026.

Should Panchayat Keep Fans Engaged Between Seasons Like Mirzapur?

To fill the long gap between Seasons 4 and 5, should the makers of Panchayat consider trying something bold, just like Mirzapur has planned to do? After Mirzapur Season 3’s record-breaking performance on the streaming platform last year, a feature film adaptation of the series was later announced (via Variety). The Mirzapur movie is slated for a theatrical release in 2026, expanding the franchise beyond the small screen.

So, the question – Should Panchayat take a page from Mirzapur and consider a similar strategy before Season 5 arrives? Yes, it could be a great way to keep fans engaged and the buzz alive. That said, considering Panchayat’s grounded, slice-of-life tone and simple storytelling, a direct-to-streaming release would be far more suitable than a theatrical one. A big-screen outing makes sense for Mirzapur, thanks to its high-octane action, intense drama, and larger-than-life characters. But for Panchayat, a direct-to-OTT release would seem more logical if it ever happens.
