## Production

The fifteenth season was teased on March 23, 2021 as the 80th total *Suitman's Survivor* season of all time, with an *All-Star* cast confirmed. The season was then fully revealed on April 4, 2021, alongside the season subtitle *Generation Wars*. Returning player applications opened at the initial tease on March 23, 2021, and closed three weeks later on April 12, 2021. 51 people applied, 27 were cut from the casting, and 24 went on to become the castaways competing in the game. The full cast and tribal designations were revealed on April 14, 2021.

This season, twenty-four castaways were divided into three tribes of eight. The tribes are named after the three Suitman's Survivor generations - Gen One, wearing teal, Gen Two, in orange, and Gen Three, with magenta. On Day 4, a fourth tribe was added - Sumba, with green - and the original tribes were renamed Akrar, Dalur, and Lopra respectively. On Day 10, the tribes merged into Lykke, wearing black.

The series is produced and hosted by SuitMan13, with production assistance from Haus Gaga, JackTheFlop and PumpSmash.

## Features

### Twists

* **Hall of the Slain:** This season, voted out players enter the Hall, where they will continue to vote at Tribal Councils after being voted out. The Hall can only hold two players at a time, so when a third player arrives, one of them must leave permanently. Each of the three Hall members must compete in a duel, where the winner must choose an Executioner from those still in the game. The elected Executioner will decide which of the Hall members shall be eliminated for good. At the merge, the final three Hall members will compete in one last duel, where only two can survive - one returning to the game, and one becoming the first member of the jury.
* **Double Tribal Council:** On Day 3, two tribes went to Tribal Council to vote someone out, with only one tribe winning immunity.
* **Tribe Switch:** On Day 4, the Gen One, Gen Two and Gen Three tribes underwent a tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a school-yard pick. The tribes were renamed Akrar, Dalur and Lopra, respectively, and the fourth tribe Sumba was created during this switch. On Day 7, the four tribes underwent a second tribe switch, mixing up the tribes in a random draw. The Dalur and Lopra tribes were dismantled in this second switch.
* **Joint Tribal Council:** The three tribes who lost the sixth Immunity Challenge on Day 6 were all sent to Tribal Council as one group, together voting out a single person.
* **One Day Tribes:** On Day 12, the twelve remaining castaways were divided back into two tribes, just for a Double Tribal Council that day, before reverting back to a normal merged tribe.
* **Returning Players:** Twenty-four castaways from the first fourteen seasons returned this season, divided by the generation in which they first played the series. The cast spans all seventy-nine seasons from *The Amazon* in 2011 to *Okinawa* in 2021.
	+ **Generation Wars:** This season, the castaways were divided by the generation in which they first played the series. The first generation were placed on Akrar, the second generation on Dalur, and the third generation on Lopra.

### Powers

* **Hidden Immunity Idols:** There was one hidden idol placed in each tribe camp, which could be found by correctly guessing the location in camp where it was hidden.
* **Idol Nullifier:** This power enables the user to void the use of a Hidden Immunity Idol, by playing it on a specific person.
