Nya tider

Nya tider (lit. 'New Times') is a Swedish soap opera which was broadcast on TV4. It began after Skilda världar became a one-episode-a-week show. The show premiered in 1999 and got good ratings the first season, but they soon dropped. Broadcast was moved to just being an episode a week on Sundays, but this did not increase viewership; Nya tider never enjoyed the same viewership as Skilda världar. It was cancelled in 2006.^[1]
