Producers

The Producers are unseen characters that are mentioned during Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour. They are the people who created the show and who, along with Chris, come up with the challenges. Chris mentions that there are two producers, both of them members of a "board of shadowy figures composed of producers, directors, and Harold-haters." Throughout the show, Chris constantly mentions that the producers are more sadistic than him and that they come up with the challenges the campers are put through. They are never mentioned once throughout Total Drama World Tour as Chris stated that they were "a board of shadowy figures," that might have been a reference to Clone High's "secret board of shadowy figures."

In Phobia Factor, Bridgette references the producers after she hears an animal by saying "Don't even try to freak me out producer people!." In Up the Creek, Chris says loudly to a producer (who is off-screen) "Who will renew my contract for next season?," implying that the producers dislike Chris, either because of his personality or because he charges a lot. In X-Treme Torture, Chris mentions wanting to pitch a cannibalistic challenge idea to the producers. One of the producers is heard once in No Pain, No Game when they call Chris about Izzy wanting to dare herself. It is implied in I Triple Dog Dare You! that the campers (except Gwen, Owen and Heather) met the producers since Chris says that the producers ran out of ideas on how to torture them (Gwen, Owen and Heather) and asked the kicked off campers for ideas.

Total Drama Action
In the episode The Aftermath: I, the producers finance a talk show for Geoff and Bridgette to host since they apparently had "nothing better to do that doesn't threaten national security." In 3:10 to Crazytown, the producers phone Chris in the middle of the show yet again to tell him that the contestants won't be quickdraw gun fighting to the death as they hoped, but rather they would use water guns in the quickdraw contest to prevent lawsuits. In The Sand Witch Project, Chris mentions that after Chef Hatchet messes with the competition by helping the Screaming Gaffers, the producers call him to a disciplinary meeting to discuss his actions.

In Full Metal Drama, the producers call Chris halfway through the first challenge, skydiving out of a plane, to tell him the PM agreed to let them force the castmates to jump off the plane without parachutes, stating that parachutes weren't used in World War One, though this had little to do with the challenge. Complying, Chris knocks the crate of parachutes out of the plane. However, it is then revealed that the plane was fake and that there was no danger in jumping out without parachutes. In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, the producers allow Courtney to rejoin the cast as a competitor, after she filed a successful lawsuit against the Producers for wrongful termination from competition. Chris' financial interests were hit hard by the lawsuit, as revealed at that episode's Award Ceremony. In One Million Bucks, B.C., due to the lawsuit, Courtney is allowed to eat lobster for dinner.

In Dial M for Merger, Chris mentions that the Producers heavily dislike every castmate, but have great respect for Duncan and Courtney due to their ruthlessness. Also, in Dial M for Merger, a quote supporting that was "I knew there was a reason we picked Courtney. She's nasty. We love nasty!" By The Aftermath: IV, the producers are rarely mentioned since Ocean's Eight - Or Nine; however, it has been also stated by Chris that the producers financed a third season (implying Total Drama World Tour) and to do this they had heavily sliced the budget for the final episodes of the current season.

In Chinese Fake-Out, the producers repeatedly call Chris throughout the whole episode, informing him of a low budget, which results in Chris's decision of Courtney and Blaineley's double elimination that night.
