Shows similar to Panchayat

Though set in the confines of a Scranton, Pennsylvania workplace rather than a rural village, The Office’s mockumentary format and its lovable ensemble cast grapple with their own everyday bureaucratic challenges, providing a similar brand of situational humor and character-driven storytelling that Panchayat fans might enjoy.

This mockumentary-style series follows the daily antics of the Parks Department in Pawnee, Indiana. With its focus on government work and the idiosyncrasies of local bureaucracy, viewers who enjoy the trials and tribulations of Panchayat's protagonist in rural administration will find a lot to love in Leslie Knope's unrelenting enthusiasm and her team's unique dynamics.

Schitt's Creek showcases a wealthy family who suddenly finds themselves broke and forced to live in a small, rural town they once bought as a joke. While its premise is flipped compared to Panchayat, the humor derived from city folks adjusting to country life is equally enriching and endearing.

Set in the small fictional town of Cicely, Alaska, Northern Exposure presents a fish-out-of-water story much like Panchayat, following a young doctor from New York adjusting to life in the remote community. Its quirky cast of characters and the comedic clash of urban and rural lifestyles make it a comfortable pick for fans seeking charm and humor in a small-town setting.
