All you need to know about Gullak Season 5

Gullak Season 5 will stream on Sony LIV . While the platform officially announced the new season on May 8, the exact release date is yet to be revealed. The series is expected to continue its usual format with multiple episodes focusing on the everyday experiences of the Mishra family. Created by Shreyansh Pandey and produced by TVF, the show stars Jameel Khan, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Harsh Mayar and Sunita Rajwar in important roles.

One of the biggest talking points this season is the casting change. Actor Anant V Joshi has joined the series as Anand “Annu” Mishra, replacing Vaibhav Raj Gupta, who played the character in the first four seasons. The change surprised many fans, especially because Vaibhav had become closely associated with the role over the years.


Speaking about joining the show, Anant V Joshi said the Mishra family always felt close to him because they reminded him of real Indian families. He shared that "'Gullak' has always felt very close to my heart because the Mishras remind me so much of our own families. I've been a fan of this world for a long time, so becoming a part of it now feels truly special."

The series follows the everyday life of the Mishra family living in a small Indian town. At the centre of the story are Santosh Mishra, his wife Shanti, and their sons Annu and Aman. What makes Gullak stand out is its unique narration style, the story is told through the voice of the family’s piggy bank, giving the series a nostalgic and emotional touch.

Over the years, Gullak has gained popularity for particularly capturing ordinary moments. From family arguments and financial struggles to sibling bonding and neighbourhood gossip, the show presents small-town Indian life with honesty and humour. Many viewers connect deeply with the series because it reflects experiences that feel familiar and real.

Season 5 is expected to continue the same emotional storytelling while introducing fresh developments in the Mishra family’s life. With the return of the core cast and a new actor stepping into Annu’s shoes, fans are eager to see how the beloved series evolves in its next chapter.

Although Sony LIV has not yet announced the official premiere date or total number of episodes, the return of Gullak has already generated strong excitement online. Stay tuned!
