TV4 loses finished season: AI agent deletion claim vs failed backup

Swedish broadcaster TV4 confirmed the finished edit of The Challenge Sverige was lost and pushed its premiere from November 22 to 2027. Aftonbladet reported an AI agent with server access deleted the season, which TV4 denies, blaming a failed backup instead. Raw footage survived, but hundreds of people must recreate roughly 100 days of work.
