Förkväll

Förkväll (2006–2007, 2009–2011) was a Swedish daily talk show that started airing in 2006 on TV4. The show ran until January 2011 before it was cancelled.

Förkväll focused on lifestyle and popular culture and is an attempt to compete with the SVT show Gokväll, but for a younger demographic.

TV4 got a storm of emails and phone calls from angry viewers and TV4 told Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen that they were instead planning a third season later that year. On 24 May the decision was made to cancel Förkväll. The reason was economical and that Carolina Gynning did not want to continue with the talk show.
