''Paradise Falls'' is a weekly Soap Opera shown nationally on the Showcase channel in Canada , starting in 2001 . It is set in a summer cottage community in Northern Ontario .

Like many major US soaps, sex is a dominant part of the story lines. However, it shows much more of this than would be allowed by censors on mainstream broadcast networks. The show's open approach to sexual and homosexual themes caused reruns of the show to be carried on the American Here! channel, which targets gay and lesbian viewers. Like the soap '' Passions '', murder and a little witchcraft are included in the mix of themes.

Unlike the typical soap opera, the series was shot entirely on location on Sparrow Lake in Muskoka and Whitevale , Ontario , to give it 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 shows production company is Breakthrough Entertainment .

The production schedule has been somewhat unorthodox and unpredictable for viewers. Originally 52 episodes were shot in a batch, then aired on Showcase. Then, new shows stopped appearing until 2004, leaving many to think the show was cancelled. A new batch of 26 episodes began to be aired in the fall of 2004. The show was recently renewed and shooting begins on July 9th and ends around October 2007 for the third season, around half of the original cast won't be returning but there'll be more new characters. The 26 episodes will be airing early 2008.
