Total Drama genre comedy television series
Total Drama (often shortened as TD) is an animated television series created by Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis that premiered on Cartoon Network (formerly Teletoon) in Canada on July 8, 2007, and on Cartoon Network in the U.S. on June 5, 2008. The series is both a homage and satire of common conventions from reality television competition shows like Survivor.Each season revolves around a group of teenagers competing in an elimination-style competition, in that the contestants compete in challenges both as teams and individually for rewards and immunity from elimination. The teams merge roughly halfway through the competition. As the contestants develop relationships with each other, they are progressively eliminated from the game. When there are only two contestants left, they compete in a final challenge where the winner is awarded a cash prize; C$100,000 (US$73,129.00) in the first season, C$1,000,000 (US$731,485.00) from the second season onward. The series currently consists of six seasons (Island, Action, World Tour,  Revenge of the Island, the two-part All-Stars and Pahkitew Island, and the revival of Total Drama Island).Total Drama has developed a cult following and spawned a franchise. A spin-off series, Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race premiered on September 7, 2015. A second spin-off series, Total DramaRama, premiered on September 1, 2018, in the U.S., and on October 7, 2018, in Canada.On February 17, 2021, it was announced that a revival of Total Drama had been greenlit, with two new seasons being produced for Cartoon Network and HBO Max in the United States, Boomerang in Canada, and CBBC in the United Kingdom. Both seasons will serve as a soft-reboot of the original series, and none of the original voice actors will reprise their roles. The first season came out in Italy on April 10, 2023, with the original English version being available on Discovery+ in the region, and will later see an international extension.
