Paradise Falls
Paradise Falls is a weekly soap opera television series which aired nationally on the Showcase channel in Canada, starting in 2001. It was filmed in the summer cottage community of Muskoka, Ontario at Grandview Resort.
Like many major soap operas, sex is a dominant component of the storylines, although more explicit in nature. The show's open approach to sexual and homosexual themes caused the show to be carried on the Here! TV network in the United States, which targets gay and lesbian viewers. Like the soap Passions, murder and a little witchcraft are included in the mix of themes.
Set in the summer cottage municipality of Muskoka, the series premise was that the town of Paradise Falls' cottage life was not what one would expect – beneath its idyllic surface lurked scandal, murder, deceit, betrayal, steamy love affairs and political intrigue.
Unlike the typical studio based soap opera, the series was shot entirely on location on Sparrow Lake in Muskoka and Whitevale, Ontario, which gave the show an authentic looking background. It was produced entirely in digital format, to reduce production costs, and allow for easier editing when adapted for foreign markets. The show's production company is Breakthrough Entertainment.
The production schedule has been somewhat unorthodox and unpredictable for viewers. An initial 52 episodes were shot in a batch in 2001, then aired that year on Showcase. After the first season had finished airing, no new episodes were seen until 2004, as the producers had difficulty raising money for a second season. A second season of 26 episodes aired, beginning in September 2004.
The show was dormant again until it was announced in August 2007 that filming had begun on a third batch of 26 episodes. This third group of episodes started airing on April 11, 2008 on the American premium cable channel Here! TV, but the third season did not premiere on Showcase until September 1, 2009.
It was announced[when?] on Kim Poirier's MySpace blog that Paradise Falls would be getting a DVD release. There is no more information currently, though Here! TV confirmed that it planned to release the show.
The third season is available exclusively on Amazon's Video On Demand section and is the first time the show has been available to buy.
