What happens

Barátok közt (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈbɒraːtok ˈkøst], English: Among Friends) was a Hungarian television soap opera aired on RTL Klub. It premiered on 26 October 1998 and ran for 23 season. The final episode aired on 17 July 2021. Throughout its entire run, the series was broadcast every weekday, with two 15-minute episodes each night. During most of its run, Barátok közt was among the most watched regular television programs domestically in Hungary, with around 1.2 million viewers per night. On 30 November 2020, in the wake of declining ratings, RTL Klub announced that the winter 2021 season would be the final season, bringing to an end the soap after 23 seasons and more than 10 000 episodes. The soap ended with a grand finale which aired in prime time, instead of its usual early evening slot, and ran for 40 minutes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
