Solsidan - meaning "The Sunny Side" - is a popular Swedish television comedy series that made its debut on 29 January 2010 on TV4. The show takes its name from a small section of Saltsjöbaden in Nacka known as Solsidan. It centers around Alex (Felix Herngren) and Anna (Mia Skäringer), who are expecting their first child and have recently relocated to Alex's childhood home in posh Saltsjöbaden in the outskirts of Stockholm. Alex endeavors to help Anna have a good time while reconnecting with his childhood friend Fredde (Johan Rheborg) who lives in one of the town's fanciest houses with his wife Mikaela "Mickan" (Josephine Bornebusch). The house where Mickan and Fredde live is located here at Åsbacken 6 in Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm.
Solsidan was created by Herngren, Seth Fransson, Kvensler and Edgren and produced by Jarowskij and FLX, which is owned by Felix Herngren, Niclas Carlsson and Pontus Edgren. Herngren has characterised Solsidan as an independent follow-up to his films Vuxna människor and Varannan vecka, with many elements of the series drawing inspiration from real-life events in his and his friends' lives.
The first season was slated for ten episodes, followed by seven more seasons.
