“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.
The production company is FLX. The show is created and directed by Herngren and produced by Sussan Treschow (“Jana – Märkta för livet”), with SkyShowtime and SVT as co-producers. Head scriptwriter Maria Nygren (“Meningen med livet,” “Kärlek & Anarki”) is joined by screenwriter Josefin Johansson (“Kärlek & Anarki,” “Top Dog”), and Jessica Ericstam (“Solsidan,” “Meningen med livet”) is executive producer for FLX.
