Ocean Ave. is a Swedish-American low budget daytime soap opera, produced by the Swedish production company, Kajak, and filmed by the Florida-based production company Dolphin Entertainment. Set and filmed in Miami, Florida, the series premiered on TV4 in Sweden in 2002.
The main cast included only five Swedish actors, four other Swedish actors were seen in minor roles in hopes the series would be distributed beyond Sweden. 130 hour-long episodes were filmed, then ultimately split in half into 260 half-hours.
The series shifted from the early prime time slot to middays after experiencing low ratings, and despite being an American co-production, never aired outside Sweden.
