Total Drama Action is the second season of Total Drama.

Overview

Total Drama Action takes place on an abandoned film lot somewhere in Toronto, Ontario. It follows the same format as Total Drama Island, with fifteen contestants from last season participating in movie-themed challenges on separate teams. After being voted off, contestants must take the Walk of Shame and travel to the Total Drama Aftermath show via the Lame-o-sine. This process continues until one player wins $1,000,000.

Format

  • Returning/Fewer Players: 14 former contestants returned to compete for another shot at the $1,000,000 prize after ending in a tie during the special episode from the past season.
  • Shorter Game: The game lasted 42 days — that is, 6 weeks — 2 weeks shorter than the first season.
  • Individual Start: For the first time, the first two episodes of the game were completely individual.
  • Double Elimination: During the first elimination round, the contestants had to vote out two competitors, instead of the usual one, for the first time. During the final four, two contestants were sent to the Lame-o-Sine for different reasons.
  • Schoolyard Pick: The winners of the second challenge would become the captains of a Schoolyard Pick, starting the team phase of the game.
  • Returning by name: A contestant returned after the host only eliminated their alter-ego, meaning that contestant was still in the game.
  • New Team Member: In episode 13, Courtney debuted in the game, due to her winning a successful law suit against the producers.
  • Smaller Merge: The two teams merged when there were just 7 contestants remaining in the game, with 1 returning later in the game.
  • Saboteur: A previously eliminated contestant returns for the chance to earn money by sabotaging the competitors during the merge phase.
  • Jury Vote: Since the final challenge ended in a tie, the eliminated contestants were asked to vote for one of the two finalists.

Episodes

Like the previous season, this season consists of twenty-six episodes plus a special. Every challenge, except for the aftermaths, is based around a movie genre.

^c Owen returned to the game in "Rock n' Rule" as a saboteur.
^d Owen was fired by Chris, eliminating him from the game.
^e The ending varies depending on the location.

Rewards

There are many more rewards this season than in the previous season. Since this season has less contestants, many of the challenges end in non-eliminations.

Total Drama Action EXTRA

Total Drama Action EXTRA is Cartoon Network's Total Drama Action website featuring videos, information about the season, games, and announcements for Best. Game. Ever.

Best. Game. Ever.

Best.Game

Availability

DVD

There are no Region 1 or Region 2 DVD releases of Total Drama Action. An Australian company called Madman Entertainment released Total Drama Action: Collection 1 in a Region 4 DVD on November 2, 2011. Total Drama Action: Collection 2 was later released on July 4, 2012.

Netflix

On Netflix, Total Drama Action is displayed in HD, full screen and 16:9 aspect ratio, using the censored version. In November 2020, Netflix's global rights to the show were set to expire, resulting in it no longer being available on the platform. Netflix later confirmed that the show would be staying on for a little longer. However, in February 2021, all seasons of Total Drama were removed from Netflix in some regions, though it remained available in the United States and Canada.
