Panchayat 3 OTT Release Delayed: Fans of the widely appreciated web series on Amazon Prime Video, ‘Panchayat’, are eagerly anticipating the arrival of its third season. This show follows the journey of an urban youth who becomes a secretary in a rural panchayat, offering a blend of realistic portrayals of rural India and humorous situations. Lauded by both critics and audiences, the series has successfully captured hearts. The second season, which debuted in October 2022, concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxiously awaiting the resolution and curious about what unfolds next in the storyline.
According to a report in Bollywood Life, one reason could be that the show wasn't promoted enough because January is a festive month in India, with celebrations like Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Lohri, and Republic Day. During these festivities, people engage in family gatherings, cultural events, and religious rituals, possibly leading to lower viewership for the web series.
Another reason cited by the portal is that the show might not have been released in January because the creators wanted to avoid the competition from numerous new releases in both theaters and online platforms. January sees many big-budget films and web series making their debut to capitalize on the holiday season. For instance, Fighter is hitting theaters, and Indian Police Force is premiering on OTT. Recent releases include Merry Christmas and Killer Soup. The creators of Panchayat may have thought their show could be overshadowed by these major projects.
