The version that an SI agent deleted the finished season is unconfirmed; the loss itself shows the risk of giving automated tools access to working servers.
According to Euronews, an entire edited season of the reality show The Challenge Sverige, scheduled to premiere on November 22, 2026, has disappeared and the premiere has been moved to 2027. The original footage survives, but the season will have to be edited again. The newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the production company gave an SI agent access to a server and it deleted the finished season. TV4 head of programming Mia Lindqvist called this untrue and attributed the loss to a "technical failure".
