The Mishra family is back. Gullak Season 5 began streaming on SonyLIV on 5 June 2026, with all seven episodes dropping at once for subscribers. The return of TVF’s most-loved family drama is one of the biggest Indian OTT moments of the month.
What’s new this season
The core cast returns: Jameel Khan and Geetanjali Kulkarni as the Mishra parents, Harsh Mayar as Aman, and Sunita Rajwar as the gossip-loving neighbour Bittu ki Mummy. The notable change is Anant V Joshi, who steps in as elder son Anand Mishra, taking over from Vaibhav Raj Gupta who played the role across the first four seasons.
The trailer hints at a household catching up with the times — the Mishra home finally gets a fresh coat of paint and a Wi-Fi connection — while keeping the small-town warmth that made the series a phenomenon.
A record-setting run
With Season 5, Gullak becomes the first Hindi OTT original to run for five consecutive seasons, a milestone in India’s streaming era. Early reviews have stayed glowing, with several outlets handing the new season a 4 out of 5 rating for its heartfelt performances and relatable family moments.
