About Trailer Park Boys in brief
The show focuses on the misadventures of a group of outrageous trailer park residents, some of whom are ex-convicts, living in the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

After the 12th season, they ceased filming at Bible Hill Estates, which still exists as an operating community.
On September 1, 2014 it was announced that every subsequent episode being filmed at that location would be filmed at Trailer Park Estates in Truro. Early seasons were shot in trailer parks in Nova Scotia, but the crew was not welcome to film there again due to complaints from residents. Space Space was purchased and a functional trailer park was built in Dartmouth for later seasons, giving the staff more freedom to film at.

The biggest change from film to series was the addition of Mike Smith’s \”Bubbles\” character, who was originally developed for the earlier short film The Cart Boy, a film that Smith, Wells, Tremblay, and Clattenberg worked on together in 1995. The first six 30-minute episodes were then written and filmed. The film followed the exploits of two friends, Rob and Gary William or GW, although it is not based in the same setting as Trailer Park boys. The feature film was shown at the Atlantic Film Festival in 1999, and it caught the attention of producer Barrie Dunn, who saw the potential for a TV series.
