For Heaven's Sake (TV series)
For Heaven's Sake is a Canadian documentary television series, which premiered in 2021 on CBC Gem in Canada and Paramount+ in the United States.[1] Created by Mike Mildon and Jackson Rowe, the series follows their attempts to solve the mystery of the 1934 disappearance of Harold Heaven, Mildon's great-great uncle, from his cabin in Minden, Ontario, even though their own personal backgrounds are more in comedy than in detective work.[2]
The series was produced by Muse Entertainment, in conjunction with Funny or Die and CBS Television Studios.[3]
The series received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, for Best Factual Program or Series, Best Sound in a Non-Fiction Program or Series (Eric Apps) and Best Writing in a Factual Program or Series (Mildon, Rowe, Jay Cheel).[4]
