Felix Herngren about the new Second yard series

Felix Herngren on the new humorous series

"Second yoke" has not had a premiere yet. But SVT has already ordered a second season.

On November 11, the series begins with a family moving to Norrbotten to manage hotels. Tonträff between "Solsidan" and "Bonusfamilien".

"I'm so happy," said Sanna Sundqvist, who plays a key role. It's a pleasure to dive into a character and allow viewers to get to know them better.

She plays Madde, who with her husband Petter and a 13-year-old girl returns from Stockholm to Madde's hometown, Björkfjället. Mom Ingegärd (Lena T Hansson) has retired and Madd will now run the hotel with his brother.

Felix Herngren is the principal director of "Andre åket".

"It was supposed to be pure comedy, but it takes away the drama," says Felix Herngren. When we started to analyze the characters and their family relationships, they became more serious. You can choose the song "We are laughing", but working with this game is not as fun. It's fun to give them more life.

"We do series all the time," he says. We are of the opinion that you should interest your viewers more than a few years ago when there was only SVT and TV 4. It's so varied today that you have to give people more flesh to watch.

In the rule there are veterans like Bert-Åke Varg but also new faces like Jakob Setterberg and Michael Lindgren from "Grotesco", Ida Engvoll, William Spetz and Mattias Fransson from "Klungan".

– We suggested these actors early and I think SVT has asked "where are all the big stars?" Says Felix Herngren. We really thought about them and it's fun that SVT has dared. It's good that they are now ordering a second season.
The series evokes a number of cultural conflicts between Stockholmers and rural people.

"From the beginning, Madde did not come from the hotel but we wanted to get away from" couples from big cities ever to the countryside, "says Erik Hultkvist in the script group. We did not want to make two stockholmers who never wore a pair of skis without being at home. In relationships with his family, you can go further.

"The second yard" is broadcast in eight episodes from November 11 at 8 pm, at the classic comedy clock SVT.
