Catalan comedy heads along the coast

Welcome to the Family is a record-breaker for TV3

Barcelona-based distributor Filmax is bringing a Catalan comedy series that has set ratings records in its homeland to MipTV for international sales.

Welcome to the Family is produced by Filmax production outfit Arca Audiovisual for TV3, on which it was the most successful fiction premiere in a decade.

The Catalan TV channel averaged 777,000 viewers for the show’s premiere in January, representing 10% of the region’s population and a 25.8% audience share.

The series, from the creators of The Red Band Society, is a black comedy focusing on a single mum struggling to keep her family’s head above water and provide for her three kids.
