Exciting New Swedish Reality TV Shows Featuring Celebrities to Debut in 2026-2027

Two fresh Swedish reality TV series featuring celebrities are set to captivate audiences in late 2026 and early 2027. Kanal 5 and HBO Max will air the new season of “Jagad – kändisar på rymmen” in 2027, hosted by Robert Aschberg. This season includes four celebrity pairs: Erik Ekstrand and Mackan Edlund, Eva Röse and Vanna Rosenberg, Peter "Foppa" Forsberg and Frida Hansdotter, and Lotta Engberg with Mikael "Soldoktorn" Sandström. The format challenges them to evade capture by professional investigators who track electronic footprints and conduct physical searches over ten days. Those caught are eliminated, and the last to reach the endpoint wins.

Meanwhile, SVT premieres an eight-episode series titled “Boyfriends” on October 4, 2026. It stars Oscar Zia, Edvin Törnblom, and Sebastian Hammarberg, three men in their 30s navigating the evolution of male friendships as their primarily female friends start families. Törnblom emphasized the show reveals a more authentic side of himself, moving away from performance to genuine expression, noting, "It’s much less show and much more me, for better or worse." The series explores the complexities and sometimes the drama of close friendships among men, especially when sexual attraction appears.

These shows underscore Swedish reality TV’s growing blend of celebrity culture with personal relationship exploration, offering both high-stakes competition and emotional authenticity.
