Synopsis: Bonusfamiljen (The Bonus Family) centres around a new couple, Patrick and Lisa, who fall in love and start a new family. But since they both have children and ex partners - and now bonus children - life is complicated in an ordinary every day way! Created by Felix Herngren, Clara Herngren, Moa Herngren and Calle Marthin who live in bonus families, the series is inspired by their experiences and bonus families in general: how people who have no choice in the matter are required to share a life together, leading to both unexpected heartache and laughter at related comic moments. How far are Patrick and Lisa willing to go to make it work?
