This perspective appears to have since changed with the advent of more experimental avenues like streaming: In mid-February of 2021, two new seasons [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/cartoon-network-hbo-max-double-down-on-preschool-fare?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter were announced]] to be in the works for Creator/HBOMax and Creator/CartoonNetwork, the first of which was released in 2023. This new season, set 15 years after the first, introduces 16 new contestants and returns to Camp Wawanakwa, acting partly as a soft reboot of the series and partly as a full-blown revival.

In addition, several of the characters appeared in the Canadian version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Skatoony}}'' replacing the characters in the UK versions of those episodes such as Bridgette who appears in ''Quizoo'' and Courtney who appears in "Hoo Loves You Baby".

''Total Drama'' is a [[CanadianSeries Canadian animated series]] produced by Creator/FreshTV, the creators of ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', that ascribes to NewSeasonNewName and debuted on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada on July 8, 2007. On June 5, 2008, it came to Creator/CartoonNetwork in the United States. The show is about teenagers who sign up to star on a reality show similar to ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' called ''Total Drama'', where they are divided into teams that compete against each other in challenges. Whenever a team loses a challenge, they have to vote one of their members off the show. After enough contestants are eliminated, the teams merge, and the remaining contestants compete as individuals and engage in a free-for-all where it's every person for themselves. The last contestant standing wins a huge sum of cash; C$100,000 initially, then C$1,000,000 starting with the first season's special.

In late September of 2018, it was confirmed by Tom [=McGillis=] (co-president of Fresh TV and co-creator of the ''Total Drama'' franchise) that there were then no plans to continue either the original ''Total Drama'' series or its spinoff ''The Ridonculous Race'', with his reason being along the lines of fleeting demographics, and the show's original concept of spoofing reality TV no longer being marketable.

However, a [[https://youtu.be/0gxdmMYRnUQ Q&A]] by Chris [=McLean=]'s then-voice actor, Creator/ChristianPotenza, revealed that this was not actually [=McGillis=] and Fresh TV's stance, but [[ExecutiveMeddling rather Cartoon Network]]'s, as the company wanted to market to a younger audience and hosting series that focused on characters in their late teens didn't trend well. This perspective appears to have since changed with the advent of more experimental avenues like streaming: In mid-February of 2021, [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/cartoon-network-hbo-max-double-down-on-preschool-fare?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter two new seasons were announced to be in the works]] for Creator/HBOMax and Creator/CartoonNetwork, the first of which was released in 2023.
