Breaking the Record Season 4: The show's most successful season to date in terms of fan involvement, Season 4 debuted on June 23 and surpassed viewing records. With its unique blend of quirky humour, small-town politics, and poignant narrative, the show never fails to evoke strong emotions in viewers both in India and overseas.
"We're ecstatic about the incredible reception to Season 4," stated Manish Menghani, Prime Video India's Head of Content Licensing.
It illustrates the rising demand for authentic Indian stories around the world. The fifth season is already under way.
Season 4 Synopsis
A heated panchayat election was the focus of the most recent season, in which Neena Gupta's character Manju Devi was defending her seat against Kranti Devi (Sunita Rajwar), a political competitor. The eccentric selection of the election symbols—pressure cooker against lauki (bottle gourd)—encapsulated the sarcasm and drama that characterise the series.

More humour, rural charm, and realistic storytelling are all part of Panchayat Season 5, which has the Phulera clan returning. The new season is anticipated to be released soon and will be available exclusively on Prime Video.
