Two of the series actors, Fortesa Hoti and Jonas Bane, were nominated for the Aftonbladet TV Prize 2008, but neither won.
[1] In June 2006 Swedish Television announced that it was moving money from news and community programs to a stronger focus on drama, which also covered the series that would become Andra Avenyn.
Because the Andra Avenyn website had become so popular, the production company needed a series to keep the viewers interested during the summer break.
New characters in the series were to be, among others, the Niklasson family (Greger, Sigrid and Markus) and Per-Erik Björn.
Since Andra Avenyn was below expectations, but still had quite reasonable audience figures to continue producing the series, SVT chose to change its format.
During the summer break in 2009 a Web-based serial, Andra Avenyn: Londonresan (the London trip) was shown.
This follows Kitty Maria Santos (Johanna Lazcano Osterman) and Roxanna Nilsson, (Fortesa Hoti) while they are in London.
Roxanna has traveled to London to study and improve her grades, but then Kitty turns up (sent by Rasmus, Roxann's foster father, to keep an eye on her).
During the autumn of 2009 a spin-off web-based series was introduced where viewers could follow two characters from Andra Avenyn – Kim Dahlberg (Jonas Bane) and Nathalie Andersson-Offerdahl (Ida Linnertorp).
[2] So, Shvan Aladin and Ida Linnertorp, who worked in Riverside, turned up in guest roles in Andra Avenyn during the spring.
Even the Cleo character (Madeleine Martin) from Riverside was seen in a sequence during Andra Avenyn's last episode.
The series deals with problems that are common in various drama series/soap operas, such as extortion, other forms of crime, pregnancy, illicit relationships, and infidelity.
