Canadians are buzzing about the ABC TV series “Happy Town”, which has a good roster of Canadian actors. Even better, many of the series scenes from the pilot episode were shot in the picturesque town of Port Hope, Ontario, an area that’s presently covered in snow due to the winter season – perfect for the show, which is set in Haplin, a relatively small town in Minnesota. Other small communities in Canada also played host to the series’ cast and crew.

Although Happy Town’s biggest names include the likes of Sam Neill and Steven Weber, a good number of Canadian actors are also in the cast.

According to the show’s executive producer Josh Appelbaum, many TV shows are often shot in Vancouver, but due to undisclosed reasons, they chose to go to Toronto instead. But since the city is too urbanized for Happy Town’s setting, they had to explore the outer areas, eventually ending up in quaint town of Port Hope.

He adds it’s a great place to shoot in, especially since it’s rarely seen on United States television.

As for what the show is about, we’ll leave you to find out. The series premieres on ABC on March or April this year, so don’t forget to watch it.
