Total Drama All-Stars and Pahkitew Island

Total Drama All-Stars (often shortened as TDAS) and Total Drama: Pahkitew Island (/ˈpækɪˌt/; often shortened as TDPI) are the two parts with 13-episode segments that both make up the fifth season of Total Drama. The season was commissioned by Cartoon Network in October 2012, ordering 26 episodes. It is a sequel to Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. The season was produced by Fresh TV in association with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and distributed by Cake Entertainment. Owing to the series' premise, the season presents itself as a parody of reality television series, such as Survivor.

The entire season first premiered in the United States starting on September 10, 2013, on Cartoon Network with the first part, while the second part premiered in the United States on July 7, 2014, for a two-week time period. In Canada, the first part premiered on Teletoon during their "Can't Miss Thursdays" time slot starting January 9, 2014, while the second part of the season also premiered during their "Can't Miss Thursdays" time slot on Teletoon starting on September 4, 2014. The second half of the season also premiered on APTN in 2015.

Similar to Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, this season also consists of 13-episode segments; though, it returns to the traditional 26-episode length of the first three seasons. The winning characters for All-Stars are either Mike or Zoey, and the winning characters for Pahkitew Island are either Shawn or Sky, varying based on the region in which season finale airs. The grand prizes for both parts of this season are both C$1,000,000.

Total Drama All-Stars is the first part of the season. Christian Potenza first announced the season in an interview with Tom McGillis (the creator of the series), saying that Total Drama All-Stars would be very similar to Total Drama Island and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, due to the high worldwide ratings of the latter. Therefore, this part of the season takes place back at Camp Wawanakwa; in a single location once again, unlike Total Drama World Tour. This part is also very similar to the previous season, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island (both being very similar in terms of length, location, features and cameos).

This half is an all-star season which features a return of fourteen contestants from both the first and second generation cast. This is the first season to feature characters from two different generations competing together. The theme for the season is "Heroes vs. Villains", meaning that competitors are separated into teams based on their past performance. Contestants that were relatively kind and good-natured were placed on the "Heroic Hamsters", while contestants that acted antagonistic were placed on the "Villainous Vultures". Both the season's first title, "All-Stars" and the "Heroes vs. Villains" theme take after respective seasons from Survivor.

Cartoon Network's official synopsis describes the first part, Total Drama All-Stars as:

Total Drama is back, but this time the team at Fresh TV have assembled the best loved and most hated contestants from seasons past to compete – Heroes vs. Villains style!

Total Drama: Pahkitew Island is the second part of the fifth season. It was first announced on June 11, 2013, as a "sixth" season, even though it is still part of the fifth season. This part features an entire new cast considered as the third generation of Total Drama characters and takes place at a brand new island, due to Camp Wawanakwa sinking into the ocean in the season finale of All Stars.
