Just Finished Panchayat? These 7 Shows Will Fill the Void Perfectly!

What to Watch After Panchayat: Heartwarming Shows That Hit the Same Note

If you’ve just finished binge-watching Panchayat and are feeling a void, you’re not alone. The show’s brilliant mix of rural simplicity, dry humor, emotional depth, and relatable characters has won millions of hearts. But the good news is — there are several other series that offer a similar warmth and charm.

At the top of the list is Gullak (SonyLIV), a delightful slice-of-life series that captures the everyday struggles and joys of a middle-class family in North India. Its nostalgic setting and witty narration make it a perfect follow-up. Another gem is Yeh Meri Family (Amazon miniTV/Netflix), which takes you back to the 90s through the eyes of a teenager, with a narrative that’s both funny and touching.

If you liked the storytelling style of Panchayat, you’ll appreciate Kota Factory (Netflix) for its black-and-white cinematography and sharp portrayal of student life in Kota. For those interested in something slightly different but from the same creators (TVF), Pitchers (ZEE5) dives into the startup world with humor, ambition, and strong writing. Laakhon Mein Ek (Amazon Prime Video), created by Biswa Kalyan Rath, is another thought-provoking series that explores the academic pressure faced by Indian students. If you’re open to international content, the British series Detectorists offers a similarly gentle and understated vibe, focusing on two friends searching for hidden treasures in the countryside Or try Ted Lasso (Apple TV+), an uplifting show that emphasizes kindness and optimism. While no show may replace Panchayat entirely, these picks bring the same emotional depth,  laughter, and simplicity that made it so special. So grab a cup of chai, sit back, and let the next feel-good story begin.
