Almedalen series follows reporter’s hunt for election answer

SVT’s aspiring election reporter William Brynolfsson spent a week in Almedalen with a clear mission: determine who will win the 2026 election. After an intensive search, the question remains unanswered, and the answer may lie only with Almedalen’s so-called “oracle.” The fourth and final episode of WMA reveals whether Brynolfsson succeeds in his task.

The series, produced by SVT, follows Brynolfsson as he navigates the political landscape of Almedalen, learning the craft of political reporting from the ground up. Earlier episodes included attempts to corner party leaders, uncover behind-the-scenes networking, and master the basics of political journalism under the guidance of SVT’s domestic political commentator Mats Knutson.
