Téléroman

A téléroman ("telenovel") is a French-language dramatic television series, similar to a soap opera or a Spanish language telenovela, in Quebec. In France, the "téléroman" genre is known as feuilleton télévisé (similar to a serial). "Téléromans" are one of the most popular television show formats in Québécois culture, and are also shown on French television.

In Quebec, nearly all the major television networks air "téléromans", including the public broadcaster SRC, which broadcasts them nationally, and the private networks TVA and TQS. TFO in Ontario has also produced at least one téléroman.

In France, the TF1 network and the subscription channel Canal+ air "feuilletons télévisés".

One of the first téléromans on Quebec television was "La famille Plouffe". This "téléroman" proved highly successful, and has helped the genre become a staple of Quebec television.
