# Talang (Swedish TV series)

Talang, formerly named Talang Sverige (pronounced; English: Talent Sweden) in 2014, is the Swedish version of the Got Talent series show where singers, dancers, comedians, variety acts and other performers compete against each other for audience support and the prize money (1 million SEK in 2007 and 2014; 500,000 SEK between 2008 and 2011 and since 2017).

## History

The show was broadcast for five seasons on TV4, between 2007 and 2011, before TV4 put the show on indefinite hiatus. Two years later, on 19 June 2013, TV3 announced that they had acquired the rights for the show and would re-launch the show in spring 2014 under the name Talang Sverige. After another 2 years without a season, in 2017, TV4 acquired the rights for the show once again and re-launched the show under the original name, Talang. On 1 September 2023, TV4 announced that the series will be paused during 2024.
