***Lockdown Survivor: Skull Island***, also known as ***Survivor: Skull Island*** is the second Survivor season of Lockdown Reality Series. Two tribes were established at the beginning of the season, consisting of ten players each. The season saw 2 quits and was hosted by Brice and Julian.

*Skull Island* was rated by the viewers of *Lockdown* at a rating of 3.1, thus solidifying it as a low-tier season to most.

## Production

The season was announced at the reunion of *The Forbidden Shrine.* The logo was released the day after and applications for the season were opened on the same day. The season was announced to start on June 16, 2023 and was themed after pirate towns in the Caribbean. The season received 50 applicants, in which 30 were cut from the final roster and 20 castaways went on to compete in *Skull Island*. The season wrapped up on July 18, 2023, lasting 32 days.

## Twists/Changes

* **Two Tribes**: Twenty castaways are divided into two tribes of ten at the beginning of the season.
* **Doubloons**: A form of currency that allows the castaways to purchase advantages at the Skull Island Shop.
* **Treasure Trove**: A place for castaways to search for Doubloons.
* **Skull Island Shop**: Advantages are not available via the Treasure Trove but are gradually added to the Shop throughout the season. Castaways can purchase advantages with the Doubloons they accumulated from the Treasure Trove.
* **Hidden Immunity Idol**: A hidden immunity idol is attributed to both tribes but are both on sale at the Skull Island Shop along with a *Skull Island* idol. Whereas tribe-attributed idols can only be purchased by tribe members of that tribe (Jolly Roger members cannot purchase the Whydah idol, Whydah members cannot purchase the Jolly Roger idol), the *Skull Island* idol is available for purchase for all castaways.
* **Double Tribal Council**: On Day 6, Jolly Roger and Whydah members played for individual immunity instead of tribal immunity, thus sending both tribes to Tribal Council to vote out one person each.
* **Tribe Switch**: With 16 active castaways left, a tribe switch occurred, splitting the castaways again, into two tribes of eight.
* **Merge**: This season merged with 12 castaways left in the game.
* **Final Three and Expanded Jury**: Three finalists faced a 9-person jury.
* **New Format Final Tribal Council**: An open forum was opened for all three finalists and the nine members of the jury for better insight.
