Amazon Prime Video on Saturday unveiled the first glimpse into season 3 of the hit rural comedy series “Panchayat” through social media posts.
The photos feature lead actor Jitendra Kumar reprising his role as Abhishek Tripathi, the reluctant panchayat secretary navigating village life in Phulera, Uttar Pradesh.
One image shows Kumar riding a motorbike with packed bags, sparking speculation on whether his character will leave the remote hamlet. Other snapshots display ensemble cast members on a bench, hinting at more quirky adventures.
Prime Video shared the sneak peek with the caption: “We know the wait is unbearable, so we got you a lil something from the sets!”
The post comes on the heels of Neena Gupta, playing Tripathi’s boss Manju Devi, posting a November video from the wrap party with co-star Raghubir Yadav.
After two successful seasons, anticipation runs high for the next chapter chronicling young urbanite Tripathi’s adjustment struggles in rural India.
Season 2 recently nabbed Best Web Series at the IFFI Awards, cementing the show’s appeal. Created by TVF, it premiered in 2020, striking a chord with pandemic-hit audiences through its authentic portrayal of small-town living.
While an official release date is still awaited, the first glimpse signals the return of the Phulera clan is likely soon. And fans can expect more quirky moments as Tripathi continues navigating the culture shock.
