SVT Cancels "The Week" with Leif GW Persson and Camilla Kvartoft

SVT has decided to discontinue the program "Veckan" with Leif GW Persson and Camilla Kvartoft, reports Amelia. It came as a surprise, says Persson to the newspaper.

The message that there will be no extension of the program where Persson, 80, and Kvartoft, 57, discuss social issues and crime came via a phone call recently. The next episode will be the last.

I was actually a bit surprised because they were very keen on getting me. And it was just a year ago, says Persson and adds that he would probably have stayed on TV4 if he had known.

Kvartoft thinks the message is sad.

I think there's a bit more to squeeze out of both Leif and me, actually. So it's a shame we're putting a stop to it, says she to Amelia.

According to Sofia Dahlström, acting commissioner for society, documentary, and minorities on SVT, the decision was made earlier that "The Week" would be broadcast in two seasons. She tells the newspaper that "Camilla and Leif have done a fantastic job".

We are very pleased with "The Week" and how the program has been received by the audience.
