SkyShowtime Boards Dramedy Series ‘Where the Sun Always Shines’ From ‘Bonus Family’ Creator Felix Herngren (EXCLUSIVE)
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.
“Where the Sun Always Shines” adds to SkyShowtime’s expanding roster of original content which comprises more than 20 titles, including the recently-announced the Spanish comedy series “Nails.”

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom detail lively wedding weekend celebrations
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's wedding celebrations featured stilt walkers, a bonfire on the beach and "mermaid" swimming. The couple - who got engaged ast summer after two years of dating - tied the knot over the weekend at the Hotel Esencia in Xpu Há, Mexico, where they had previously enjoyed a weekend away, and wanted their guests to enjoy a "taste of [their] dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise". The guests spent Thursday (13.03.25) night on the beach with a bonfire, before the couple held their rehearsal dinner the following evening. Those celebratios began with cocktails on the roof terrace before toasts from friends and family by the pool. Nicole told Vogue magazine: “Many tears were shed and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have made such a huge impact on our lives, both as individuals and as a couple." They then enjoyed more drinks, using local vendors and entertainers, and "got the party started". The 30-year-old actress noted: “Our band for the night, The Cubanismos, really got the party started. As did the stilt walkers!” The wedding ceremony took place at 5pm on Saturday (15.03.25), but the weather meant a slight change of plans with the venue. Nicole - who wore a custom gown by her friend Victoria Beckham - explained: “We had initially wanted to get married down by the water, but when we woke up on Saturday morning, the wind was incredibly strong and sand was whipping around. We pulled the ceremony back into a tucked away cove. The ocean was still visible but we were protected under a canopy of palm trees.” The 'Paradise' star's sister sang 'Moon River' as she walked down the aisle. Nicole said: “It was so moving to hear her beautiful voice wafting over the soft waves as my step-father Dan McNulty and I made our way through all our family and friends toward Justin at the end of the aisle." The pair have opted to keep the contents of their wedding vows private. Justin said: “All I’ll say is, it was wonderful. Ceremonies with vows are about the words contained within them. And they are better left un-described here. That being said, the officiant said some wonderful things, and my wife was just… well, incredibly touching. I was very moved.” Nicole added: "I kept saying I felt so at peace and so loved all weekend. "Our officiant and my brother-in-law, Patrick McQuade, had us take a moment at the top of our ceremony to face our guests and really soak in the moment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, love, and joy. "To see so many faces smiling back at me from so many different walks of life and generations felt incredibly grounding and magical. Looking into Justin’s kind, hazel eyes during the ceremony made me feel very safe and loved.” After saying I do, the 53-year-old actor and his new wife took 10 minutes to themselves before kicking off their celebrations. Nicole said: “It was the greatest little reset before rejoining our favorite people for cocktail hour on the lawn." Eliot Sumner opened the reception with two songs before speeches came from Nicole's stepfather and her two sisters, who were joint maids of honour. Nicole said: “All three speeches moved me to tears. Justin’s best men were fantastic and had all our guests belly laughing by the end of their toasts.” A mariachi band played while the couple headed to the floor for their first dance to 'I've Told Every Little Star' by Linda Scott. Justin said: “A first dance and an homage to David Lynch." Nicole added: "We danced for three hours straight with all our guests beneath a canopy of disco balls. My 93-year-old grandma, Laura Bloom, was the life of the party.” The guests who celebrated until the end found themselves inside a little speakeasy within the hotel. Nicole said: “It was rowdy with great music—and Patrick, our officiant, just kept yelling ‘This is the best night of my life!’ "A few mermaids ended up swimming in the pool above. It was the perfect celebratory way to end a fabulous weekend!”

People Are Blaming Cheap Shampoo For Causing Male Pattern Baldness
It’s a running joke (and arguably a pretty tired one, at this point) that men don’t know how to take care of themselves. Across the internet, you’ll find loads of videos of young women trying to teach their boyfriends the basics of skin care. Commonly, the men have never heard of moisturizer; some don’t even know to wash their faces. Personal care brands famously sell those 3-in-1 (or 4, or 5…) combo products that combine shampoo, conditioner and body wash — presumably because when you’re a man, you don’t have time to use three different products to serve three discrete purposes, I guess. Never mind that shampoo and conditioner aren’t even meant to go on the same parts of your hair.
