Panchayat S2 trailer promises a rollercoaster of humour, drama

The show will have a global premiere on ‘Prime Video’ on May 20 in India and across 240 countries and territories

In what looks like a rollercoaster of emotions, drama and rural hullabaloo, ‘Prime Video’, in association with ‘The Viral Fever’ (TVF) on May 9, launched the much-awaited trailer of the second season of the popular comedy-drama, ‘Panchayat’. Following a stupendous first season, the second instalment delves deeper into the life at Phulera and the new challenges it brings for Abhishek, the engineer turned Panchayat secretary. ‘Panchayat’ season two will have a global premiere on ‘Prime Video’ on May 20 in India and across 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Reflecting on the daily tribulations of village life, the trailer opens us to Abhishek’s growing camaraderie with Pradhan, Vikas, Prahlad and Manju Devi as the former begins to find his ground in Phulera. With newer issues plaguing the villagers, how will Abhishek manage to balance it all and let the right prevail? Peppered with a slice of life moments and ample doses of humour, ‘Panchayat’ season two promises to captivate audiences just like the first one.

“Growing up within the limits of a small town myself, I could relate to the dilemmas and hesitance of Abhishek right from day one, though he had a bigger challenge of transitioning into the rural life,” Jitendra Kumar said.

He added, “This resonance somewhere helped me to get into the skin of the character and reprise him better. As a character, the constant oscillation of wanting to make it big but also standing in solidarity with the villagers is what makes Abhishek so relatable and unabashedly real. Into the second season, he is much more levelheaded and at peace with himself as he steers through the concerns in Phulera.”
