Filmed on location in Mallorca, the six-part dramedy was inspired by Herngren’s own family move to Spain. Where the Sun Always Shines captures expat life on the island with a blend of authenticity and playful humor.
“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!“
Where the Sun Always Shines follows Tom (Lasson) and Petra (Linnertorp), a successful couple who built up a large Ica Maxi store in Linköping and sold it for a record sum to live a life of luxury in Mallorca with their sons. Ready to enjoy an eternal vacation, their lives suddenly 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 Spanish island, where chaos ensues.
