Skavlan was a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television (SVT) in January 2009,[1] and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen.[2] On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway.[3] It was then produced by Monkberry, who took over production duties from the 4th season, run by presenter Fredrik Skavlan and producer Marianne Torp-Kierulf.[4]

The programme was filmed at TV-huset (sv), SVT's studio complex in Stockholm, with episodes also filmed at Sky Studios in London, and Chelsea Studios in New York. London episodes were previously filmed at BBC Television Centre and ITV's London Studios.
