Trailer Park Boys is a Canadian mockumentary crime dark comedy television series created and directed by Mike Clattenburg that focuses on the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents, some of whom are ex-convicts, living in the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The television series, a continuation of Clattenburg's 1999 film of the same name, premiered on Showcase in 2001. The planned final season ended in 2007, and the planned series finale special, "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys", premiered on Showcase on December 7, 2008, ending the initial run of the series.
There have been three films released in the series: The Movie, released on October 6, 2006; Countdown to Liquor Day, released on September 25, 2009; and Don't Legalize It, released on April 18, 2014 after issues during production.
In March 2014, Netflix announced plans to air seasons eight and nine, as well as three new specials, with Season 8 premiering on September 5, 2014 exclusively on their streaming service. Season 9 aired on March 27, 2015, followed by Season 10 which aired March 28, 2016, and Season 11 coming soon.
On July 5, 2016, Swearnet announced via social media that filming for Season 11 was finished, awaiting release. Word of a possible new series called Trailer Park Boys Out of the Park: Europe also was announced.
All eight episodes of Trailer Park Boys Out of the Park: Europe were released on Netflix on October 28, 2016.
In 1998, director Mike Clattenburg wrote and directed a short film titled One Last Shot, which was shot in black-and-white. The film followed the exploits, in documentary style, of Ricky (Robb Wells) and Julian (John Paul Tremblay), two criminals doing what they did just about every day. In the following 1999 feature film Trailer Park Boys, also in black-and-white, the character Julian states to the camera in the film that he wanted his life to be documented after receiving a telephone psychic's prediction that he would die soon. He hoped that the film would deter others from the life of crime he had chosen.
