SkyShowtime has boarded a new original series, “Where the Sun Always Shines,” created and directed by Felix Herngren, the critically acclaimed Swedish writer-filmmaker behind “Sunny Side,” “Bonus Family” and “The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.”
The six-part original series is led by a star-studded Swedish cast, including Erik “Jerka” Johansson (“Bonus Family”), Rakel Wärmländer (“Limbo”), along with Per Lasson (“Thin Blue Line”) and Lisa Linnertorp (“Sunny Side”). The dark dramedy series was filmed on location in Mallorca, Spain, and will be available to stream on SkyShowtime, a joint venture of Comcast and Paramount, later this year.
“Where the Sun Always Shines” follows Tom (Lasson) and Petra (Linnertorp), a successful couple who have built up a large Ica Maxi store in Linköping and sold it for a record sum. “They have been living a life of luxury in Mallorca with their sons for a month, ready to enjoy an eternal vacation. But their lives take an unexpected turn during Tom’s 50th birthday party, leading his brother Timmy (Johansson) and his wife Maja (Wärmländer) to move their family to the sunny climes of Mallorca, where chaos ensues,” reads the synopsis.
”Many dream of a new life in the sun – and so did my family and I. After just a week in our new country, Spain, the idea for this series began to take shape,” said Herngren. “There were so many life stories, dreams, and fascinating cultural clashes to turn into drama and comedy. And I’m especially happy that SkyShowtime wanted to develop it with us!” continued the Swedish director.
Kai Finke, SkyShowtime’s chief content officer, said “SkyShowtime’s ongoing commitment to provide our members with local storytelling means we get to partner with the best creative talent in Europe, in front of and behind the camera – it has been a privilege to work alongside Felix and this stellar cast.”
“Where the Sun Always Shines” is produced by Sussan Treschow (“Jana – Marked for life,” “Meaning of Life”) at the Scandinavian production company FLX , with SkyShowtime and Swedish broadcaster SVT serving as co-producers. Head scriptwriter for the series is Maria Nygren (“Meaning of Life,” “Love & Anarchy”), joined by scriptwriter Josefin Johansson (“Love & Anarchy,” “Top Dog”), with Jessica Ericstam (“Sunny Side,” “Meaning of Life”) serving as executive producer for FLX.
SkyShowtime’s collection of unique content grows with the addition of ‘Where the Sun Always Shines’. This brings the total number of titles to over 20, including the newly announced Spanish comedy series titled “Nails.
