Director Deepak Kumar Mishra said, “First and foremost, hats off to the incredible team behind Panchayat! A big shout-out to the incredible cast, and my writer Chandan Kumar, the wizard with words, for crafting this fantastic script. And let’s not forget the amazing producers and Prime Video, who saw the magic of Panchayat from day one and made sure it reaches viewers across the country and around the world! It’s been four years since we kicked off Season 1, and now we’re diving into Season 3.”
He added, “Making a multi-season show is a huge challenge but with the right script, right vision and right people, we are excited to bring the new season to our audiences. Panchayat is a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the richness of rural life. It’s a series that celebrates the resilience, humor and humanity found in the everyday struggles of village folk, and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of bringing their stories to the screen. I am looking forward to seeing the audiences’ reactions to Season 3.”
Neena Gupta, who essays the role of Manju Devi, the village pradhan, stated, “Panchayat has been one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever worked on. I am delighted to be part of Season 3! Doing the latest season felt like homecoming to me. The series is amazing – even though the characters are from rural areas, their beliefs, struggles and how they deal with them are so relatable, no matter where you are from! What’s great about Panchayat is that it stays true to a simple village life and the narrative puts the spotlight on the main challenges in each season. The show is funny, quirky and a light watch, yet it also teaches you how to stay focused and objective in tough times.”“Being a part of this show has been an absolute honor for me, for it is because of Panchayat that today I am a household name. You know, they say it takes a village to raise a child, and in my case, I truly believe it took the whole village of Phulera to help me grow as a performer! I’ve been extremely lucky to have actors such as Neena-ji, Raghubir-ji, Faisal and Chandan as my colleagues, which has helped me immensely to grow as an actor. The love and support Abhishek, my character, and the show has received over the years just proves how much people enjoy stories that reflect the ups and downs in life in a fun and relatable way,” commented Jitendra Kumar, around whose character the show revolves.Prime Video unveils trailer of Panchayat Season 3
