Nova TV is set to premiere a new domestic series, 'Slučajna obitelj' (Accidental Family), a drama-comedy that promises to captivate audiences. The show centers on three complete strangers whose lives become intertwined by fate, compelling them to form a makeshift family to escape their individual troubles. Filip Juričić, a prominent actor, takes on a leading role in the series. He described the premise, stating, "Life circumstances will bring together completely different people who find themselves in different situations, but they all have one thing in common. They want to escape a life they are not happy with. By chance, they are forced to lie and enter into a pact to survive together." The narrative revolves around these three individuals, each fleeing their own difficult circumstances. To protect themselves, they must convincingly portray a happy family unit. Despite their vastly different personalities and life stories, they hope to part ways amicably once the danger has passed and continue their lives independently. Viewers will get a glimpse into the story through a humorous promotional spot, which playfully unfolds on the set of Nova TV's long-running hit, 'Kumovi.' The teaser introduces the concept through familiar characters Lara and Vesna Gotovac, who stumble upon a news report about three people on the run, connected by chance: a runaway groom, a waitress fleeing an abusive partner, and a young man who left a children's home. The arrival of the runaway groom confirms that this news report is just the beginning of the television story.

Life circumstances will bring together completely different people who find themselves in different situations, but they all have one thing in common. They want to escape a life they are not happy with. By chance, they are forced to lie and enter into a pact to survive together.
