24-hour live coverage of Sweden’s epic moose migration draws to a close

The seventh season of the Swedish slow TV series The Great Moose Migration concluded on Sunday after continuously streaming live for 20 days.
The event began on April 15, starting a week earlier than usual because of unseasonably mild conditions and the moose starting their spring migration sooner than expected.
By midmorning Sunday, footage showed 70 moose making their way across the Ångerman River, located roughly 300 kilometers northwest of Stockholm, as part of their annual spring migration to summer feeding grounds.
In 2024, The Great Moose Migration attracted an audience of 9 million through SVT’s streaming service, with the production team capturing a total of 478 hours of footage—an outcome project manager Johan Erhag described as very satisfactory.
The show reflects the growing slow TV trend that began in 2009 with NRK's minute-by-minute train trip and has since spread internationally.
