Panchayat Season 2 trailer: Jitendra Kumar is back in the rural life

Amazon Prime Video in association with The Viral Fever (TVF) launched the trailer of the second season of the rural comedy-drama Panchayat on Monday. The second instalment of the show delves deeper into the life at village Phulera and the new challenges it brings for Abhishek, played by Jitendra Kumar, the engineer turned Panchayat secretary. The series will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on May 20.

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. Peppered with slice of life moments and ample doses of humour, Panchayat Season 2 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,” says Jitendra. “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. In the second season, he is much more level-headed and at peace with himself as he steers through the concerns in Phulera," he adds.

The series also features Raghuvir Yadav and Neena Gupta, amongst others.
