When the opening season of TVF’s comedy drama series ‘Panchayat’ began streaming on the Amazon Prime Video OTT platform back in 2020, the show became an instant hit on OTT. Thereafter, in 2022, ‘Panchayat Season-2’ continued to impress the streaming viewers in a big way and bagged several accolades including multiple Filmfare OTT Awards.
‘Panchayat’ has already been renewed for a third season and OTT audiences are waiting with bated breath for Season-3.
But before that, in case you still haven’t watched Season-1 and Season-2 of ‘Panchayat’, then now is a good opportunity for you. Because Amazon Prime Video has started streaming ‘Panchayat’ Seasons 1 & 2 on its OTT platform free of charge.
‘Panchayat’ web series follows an engineering graduate Abhishek Tripathi (played by IIT Kharagpur alumni turned actor Jitendra Kumar), who reluctantly accepts the post of Secretary of a panchayat office in a remote village of Uttar Pradesh. It also features veteran actors Raghuveer Yadav (in the role of Pradhan-Pati) and Neena Gupta (in the role of an inactive village Pradhan), and Chandan Roy as the good-hearted assistant, amongst others.
Each episode of the show is a slice-of-life comedy-drama that gives you the feel of a typical easy-going village-day. The show has been described by many fans as the ‘Malgudi Days’ of this generation. The second season of ‘Panchayat’ further portrays Jitendra Kumar’s character arc and his evolving relationship with the show’s main characters. Now all eyes will now be on ‘Panchayat Season-3’, whose release date is yet to be announced by Amazon Prime Video.
