The adaptation will be filmed in Sweden starting October 7 and broadcast across all Scandinavian countries beginning in spring 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The original version of <em>Boomerang<\/em>, an original idea by Catherine-Anne Toupin, is currently broadcast in France on Amazon Prime and in Poland. Produced by Encore Television in collaboration with Quebecor Content and broadcast on TVA in Canada, the show is a romantic comedy featuring a debt-ridden couple that\u2019s forced to move into their parents\u2019 basement.<\/p>\n<p>Anette Brantin, Art &amp; Bob\u2019s executive producer, said: \u201cWe started developing the adaptation a few weeks ago and we\u2019re excited to now start shooting. Not many comedy series can be adapted successfully outside of their home countries, but <em>Boomerang<\/em> is one of them. The characters are smart and funny, the scripts are strong and we have a lot of episodes to work with\u2014which means we, along with our broadcaster, can create a long-running adapted series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chrystine Girard, Encore\u2019s head of international distribution, said: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier that <em>Boomerang<\/em> is being adapted in Sweden. This is a strong comedy series, and to have Art &amp; Bob on board to produce the first international adaptation ever makes us very proud. We\u2019re confident this will open doors to other adaptations around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yann Paquet, VP of Quebecor Content, said: \u201cWe are pleased by this collaboration with Art &amp; Bob and by the interest this format receives internationally. Once again, this shows how strong our series are and how well they travel. We\u2019re very proud to contribute to the recognition of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s creative talent worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first international adaptation of Encore International and Quebecor Content\u2019s comedy series Boomerang is slated to launch in Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":7210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1356,1850,1045],"class_list":["post-7209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-boomerang","tag-encore-international","tag-quebecor-content","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Boomerang Set for Swedish Adaptation - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Boomerang Set for Swedish Adaptation - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The first international adaptation of Encore International and Quebecor Content\u2019s comedy series Boomerang is slated to launch in Sweden.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-10-02T14:28:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-10-02T17:20:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/quebecon-encore-1019.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/\",\"name\":\"Boomerang Set for Swedish Adaptation - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-10-02T14:28:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-10-02T17:20:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/boomerang-set-for-swedish-adaptation\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Boomerang Set for Swedish Adaptation\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
