Gullak Season 5 Trailer Out: Release Date, Story Hints & A New Annu

The Gullak Season 5 trailer is finally out, and it confirms what fans have been waiting to hear: the Mishra family returns on June 5, 2026, with all-new episodes streaming on Sony LIV. 

Gullak Season 5 Trailer & Release Date: Quick Snapshot

The new promo brings back the familiar warmth of Mishra Niwas—steel dabbas, creaky cooler, electricity lectures—and layers it with visible change: a fresh coat of paint, a Wi‑Fi connection, bigger dreams, and more grown‑up problems for Annu and Aman. 

Season 5 also debuts a major casting change: Anant V Joshi steps in as Anand “Annu” Mishra, replacing Vaibhav Raj Gupta, who played the elder son for the first four seasons. 

What The Gullak Season 5 Trailer Shows

The trailer feels instantly familiar but clearly older and busier:

• We see Santosh Mishra still obsessing over electricity usage and bills.
• Shanti holds the family together as emotions and egos stretch.
• Annu and Aman now look like young men in a hurry—jobs, future plans, and bigger responsibilities crowd into every scene. 

Key visual/story beats teased:

• House makeover: New paint and décor symbolise the Mishras trying to move up in life.
• Wi‑Fi comes home: A small but telling sign of shifting priorities and digital dependence.
• New home dream: The family starts seriously talking about buying their own house, triggering arguments, calculations and classic Mishra‑style nok‑jhok. 
• Annu’s transition: Hints that he may move out or into a separate space, forcing everyone to confront what “home” really means now. 

The tonality is very much Gullak: jokes at the dinner table, small quarrels over everyday issues, and those sudden emotional punches that arrive between two sarcastic one‑liners.

New Annu In Gullak Season 5: Anant V Joshi Steps In

The biggest talking point from the Gullak Season 5 trailer is the recasting of Annu:

• Old Annu: Vaibhav Raj Gupta (Seasons 1–4)
• New Annu: Anant V Joshi (known from Maamla Legal Hai and other OTT work) 

Initially, fans were upset when the first teaser confirmed that Vaibhav wouldn’t return. But early reactions to the full trailer suggest many viewers are now more open to Joshi’s version of Annu—especially since Season 5 seems to spotlight the elder son’s growing responsibilities and emotional arc. 

Key Cast For Gullak Season 5

Themes Hinted At In Season 5

From the Gullak Season 5 trailer, a few clear thematic threads emerge:

1. Growing Up & Moving Out
   Annu’s arc looks central: job pressures, savings, possibly moving into his own place, and learning that adulthood is more EMI than excitement. 
2. Middle‑Class Upward Mobility
   The “let’s buy a house” dream becomes a catalyst for new conflicts—down payments, loans, location fights, and the fear of biting off more than they can chew. 
3. Change vs Comfort
   Wi‑Fi, paint, and new furniture are cosmetic; the real question is whether the Mishras can change without losing the very “feel” that makes their home special.
4. Everyday Humour Amid Anxiety
   As always, stress is filtered through humour—battles over fans vs cooler, power cuts, job interviews, and money talk all stay funny, even when they sting.

Gullak So Far: Seasons, Style & Legacy

Gullak began in 2019 and quickly became one of India’s most loved slice‑of‑life shows, telling the story of a modest North Indian middle‑class family through tiny, deeply relatable moments. 

Seasons & Timeline

The show’s hallmark has always been soft nostalgia, small‑town detail, and tightly written emotional payoffs rather than big plot twists—Season 5 looks set to continue that tradition while raising the life‑stakes for the Mishras.

Gullak Season 5: What To Expect From June 5

Putting it together, the Gullak Season 5 trailer suggests:

• A more mature, responsibility‑heavy phase for Annu and Aman
• A focus on the financial and emotional reality of chasing bigger middle‑class dreams
• Plenty of old‑school Mishra humour, neighbour drama, and nok‑jhok to keep the tone light even when the subject is serious
• A test of whether audiences accept Anant V Joshi as the “new Annu” while still feeling like this is the same family they’ve loved for four seasons

If the season delivers what the trailer promises—change, warmth, and grounded writing—Gullak may strengthen its case as one of TVF and Sony LIV’s most enduring shows.
