Kai Finke, Chief Content Officer, SkyShowtime:
“We are thrilled to have SkyShowtime Original series Where the Sun Always Shines launching later this year. Featuring a superbly talented cast and with Felix Herngren at the helm, I have no doubt this fantastic dramedy series will be a treat for audiences. 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.”
The lead cast of the SkyShowtime Original have also been revealed – Erik Johansson (Bonus Family) as Timmy Kraft, Rakel Wärmländer (Limbo) as Maja Kraft, along with Per Lasson (Thin Blue Line) as Tom Kraft and Lisa Linnertorp (Sunny Side) as Petra Kraft.
Where the Sun Always Shines follows Tom (Per Lasson) and Petra (Lisa 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 (Erik “Jerka” Johansson) and his wife Maja (Rakel Wärmländer) to move their family to the sunny climes of Mallorca, where chaos ensues.
Series creator and director Felix Herngren:
”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. 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!”
Further details about the series will be announced soon.
