Panchayat 5: ‘Can’t Be Dragged’ Disappointed Fans Suggest Ending Jitendra Kumar’s Rural Drama With The Next Season

The buzz around Panchayat 5 is real, but not everyone is happy. After four successful seasons, fans are now asking the makers to give the story a proper ending instead of stretching it further. The rural drama, starring Jitendra Kumar, has entertained families on Amazon Prime Video for years, but its fourth season left many viewers a bit disappointed.

The latest season took a political turn. Kranti Devi became the new Pradhan of Phulera village. Now, the Deputy Pradhan’s seat is heating up with Binod and Madhav as rivals. At the same time, the MP wants Prahlad Cha to run for the MLA post. While Abhishek Tripathi and Rinki’s romance grows quietly, fans feel the storyline is starting to lose focus. Many now feel it’s time for the series to conclude with Season 5 and not drag the story further.

Fans Suggest Concluding Jitendra Kumar’s Hit Series With Panchayat 5

After the announcement, a Reddit user posted the show’s poster and wrote, “The next season of Panchayat will be released in 2026.”

But instead of excitement, many users shared concerns and suggested wrapping up the series.

Check reactions:

“Last season…it can't be dragged…I felt this season had nothing much to do.”

"Season 1-3 was focused on Sacheev Ji, and his life, his view mostly. Now it's changed into something else.”

“The show needs to end in next season, they're dragging it now.”

“The first half of this season (s4) is a bit below the standard of their earlier seasons, but the second half has brought a new angle with Prahlad chacha fighting elections, Pradhan losing, Banrakas and his wife winning, and Abhishek probably spending his last few months in the village. Hope they end on a high and don't drag it too far.”

What Disappointed Fans In Season 4?

Season 4 was meant to continue the show’s simple charm. But fans found the pace too slow and the plot stretched. What used to be a light and humorous show became heavier with political drama. Many felt the soul of the series was missing. Instead of relatable village life, the focus shifted to election politics. Some viewers called it “boring in parts” and said it lacked the earlier seasons’ warmth.

The biggest letdown was the Season 4 finale. Titled “Dabdaba,” the episode got the lowest IMDb rating for any Panchayat finale. Fans found the ending too dark and lacking an emotional punch. What was once a feel-good rural comedy now felt serious and weighed down by political conflicts.

Even with these complaints, the love for the cast remains strong. Jitendra Kumar’s role as Sachiv Ji continues to win hearts, and the supporting characters still feel real and lovable. But viewers are worried. They want Panchayat 5 to close the story in a way that feels right. Many hope the next season brings back the humour and simplicity that made the show special in the first place.
