    The countdown begins! The trailer of ‘Panchayat: Season 3’, the most anticipated web series on Amazon Prime Video was dropped by the producers on Wednesday. The previous season ended on a cliffhanger as it became rather unclear if Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) would remain as the Gram Panchayat secretary in Phulera after Pradhan Pati had a fallout with a politician.

    While the trailer begins with the appointment of a new secretary for Phulera, due to some circumstances (or is it destiny?) Tripathi gets called back.

    The new season sees the much-loved cast of ‘Panchayat’ - Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, and Sanvikaa, reprise their roles.

    The eight-episode series, which premiered with its first season in April 2020, became a phenomenon in no time. The overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and critics alike led to a second season that came out in May 2022.

    In a press statement, Manish Menghani, director – content licensing, Prime Video India, explained the secret behind the cult following if this web series. “Panchayat is one of the most loved Indian Amazon Originals, resonating not only with audiences in India but also across the globe. The love for this heartwarming comedy lies in its simplistic narrative that’s rooted in the slow-paced village life and is tightly woven through its satirical treatment of the daily issues faced by the residents of Phulera. The third season delivers all that and more," Manish Menghani, director – content licensing, Prime Video India..” read the statement.


    About ‘Panchayat’

    Created by The Viral Fever, a popular YouTube channel, ‘Panchayat’ narrates the story of Abhishek Tripathi, an engineering graduate who ends up on a low-paying position as a Gram Panchayat Secretary at Phulera, instead of a cushy IT job. His struggle to adapt to the rural way of life and unspoken social codes of Phulera, a remote village in Uttar Pradesh form the basis of this lighthearted comedy. However, despite the seemingly steep cultural differences, Abhishek gradually comes to love Phulera, and Rinki, the Pradhan’s daughter.
