Panchayat 3 coming?: Everyone loved the two seasons Panchayat web series. After season, everyone has been asking the same question, ‘when is Panchayat 3 coming?’ The series stars Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghuvir Yadav among others. Based on the life of a city boy, who is hired as an staff member in a village panchayat, the TVF production is one of the most endearing shows on Amazon Prime Video.
The mind behind the show Chandan Kumar, who wrote Panchayat, shared in an interview with The Indian Express that they do not want to just sew together a story without due thought. He shared that they will take some time but assured that a new season will is coming soon.
Break in between
He also shared that they had no plans for concurrent seasons, and would take a break in between. “It won’t be possible to launch seasons immediately but we will get the next one before people start forgetting our show,” he said.
Asked if he is under pressure as people have lot of expectations, Chandan said , “Of course, as and when seasons go on, the pressure piles up. I was worried about whether we would be able to crack the first season. And then when that worked, we wanted to be sure the second one does well. I think it is a never-ending process for any creator.”
No loose ends in Season 3
Chandan did not go much into details about the third season, but said the story would be seamless. “All the loose ends would be tied up. Also, the local politics was emerging last season with Bhushan coming up as an opposition. We will delve into that and also Abhishek and his tryst with government exams.”
Neena Gupta had said in an interview that she wants to be in every scene of the new season. Asked about this, Chandan said no actor had made such a request. He also added that while the show is from Abhishek’s (Jitendra) perspective, every character has its own arc and story. “Every character is quite well-fleshed out and we never even had a tough time convincing them to come on board. Initially, they might have had apprehensions but when they read the script, they were all sold. I don’t think we ever had an issue about screen time for any actor.”
Talking about Panchayat becoming a successful show, he said, “I am not saying it was a great show but we never let our audience be bored. We held on to minute things which the audience too got hooked on to. Even with basic storytelling, one needs to just keep on adding newer elements. Also, the engaging track helped where people kept telling each other if they had watched the show. That was our biggest achievement.”
