Andra Avenyn is a Swedish SVT produced drama series and soap opera from 2007.
　　Andra Avenyn (Second Avenue or The other Aveny an allusion to the famous main street in Gothenburg) is set in Riverside, a housing estate by the River G?ta, filmed in Kvillestaden and Lindholmen in Gothenburg. Several families live there, and these, especially the teenagers, are the focus of the series. There is a Riverside Boxing Club (RBC). The school is the Harry Brandelius Gymnasium (Secondary School for 16+). There is a hospital and a park. Several factories and businesses are also to be found there, some, like Bj?rns?ngar (Bj?rns Beds) and Bara Babros Livs (a sandwich bar) central to the series.
　　The series is filmed in specially a specially constructed studio in Gothenburg and in outside locations in the vicinity. It is broadcast three times a week, with every episode available on the SVT website following transmission, and has recently been bought by Norwegian Television. Four of the teenager roles were cast in Spring 2007 during a six-part reality series ("Andra avenyn - castingen", inspired by Pop Idol, but "for real").
