Nya tider ({{literal translation|New Times}}) is a Swedish soap opera which was broadcast on TV4. It began after Skilda världar became a one-episode-a-week show. The show premiered in 1999 and got good ratings the first season, but they soon dropped. Broadcast was moved to just being an episode a week on Sundays, but this did not increase viewership; Nya tider never enjoyed the same viewership as Skilda världar. It was cancelled in 2006.{{cite web|url=http://smdb.kb.se/catalog/search?q=%22Nya+tider%22+typ%3Atv&sort=OLDEST |title=Nya tider |publisher=Svensk mediedatabas |language=Swedish |date=1999 |accessdate=15 February 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150215124413/http://smdb.kb.se/catalog/search?q=%22Nya+tider%22+typ%3Atv&sort=OLDEST |archivedate=15 February 2015 }}
