A téléroman ("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 Canada, all of the major francophone television networks air téléromans, including the public broadcaster Radio-Canada, which broadcasts them nationally, and the private networks TVA and Noovo.
Some famous téléromans produced in France include Riviera, Sous le soleil, Plus belle la vie and Cinq sœurs.
This téléroman proved highly successful, and has helped the genre become a staple on Canadian French television.
English Canadian networks have also adapted a number of Québec téléromans for English viewers, including La famille Plouffe, Lance et Compte and Les Hauts et les bas de Sophie Paquin, with varying degrees of success.
