The show is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio in association with Outpost Farms Productions.

New episodes of Passions will begin shooting in August and will continue to be taped at the CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Calif. 1 among all daytime dramas in both women ages 18-24 and females 12-24. The series debuted on NBC in 1999 and has routinely been among the top daytime programs for women 18-34. Passions explores the lives, loves and losses of four core families in the small New England town of Harmony: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the Bennetts and the Russells, each of whom have their own distinct and diverse personalities. Passions fans can also visit NBC’s site for more information about the show. The direct-broadcast satellite provider will make it easy for Passions viewers to keep track of the happenings in Harmony by providing fans free installation, a digital-video-recorder or HD-receiver upgrade and a portable DVD player by calling a special phone number (86) or visiting the Web (opens in new tab), giving those without DirecTV plenty of time to switch before the new season begins. The series will broadcast four one-hour episodes per week, as well as a weekend marathon of that week’s shows so fans can catch up on the action each week. Passions was cancelled by NBC in January 2007 because of low ratings. The majority of the cast and crew is expected to return when the one-hour series begins shooting the new DirecTV episodes in August.
