A teleroman ("telenovel" or ''annual drama series'') is a genre of French-language drama television series in Canada , similar to a soap opera or a Spanish language telenovela . In France , the teleroman genre is known as feuilleton televise (similar to a serial ). Teleromans are one of the most popular television series formats in Quebecois culture ^[1] and are also shown on French television.

In Canada, all of the major francophone television networks air teleromans , including the public broadcaster Radio-Canada , which broadcasts them nationally, and the private networks TVA and Noovo . TFO in Ontario has also produced one teleroman.

In France, the TF1 network and the subscription channel Canal+ air feuilletons televises . Some famous teleromans produced in France include Riviera , Sous le soleil , Plus belle la vie and Cinq sœurs .

One of the first teleromans on Canadian television was La famille Plouffe . This teleroman proved highly successful, and has helped the genre become a staple on Canadian French television. English Canadian networks have also adapted a number of Quebec teleromans for English viewers, including La famille Plouffe , Lance et Compte and Les Hauts et les bas de Sophie Paquin , with varying degrees of success.
