Nickelodeon has been the ultimate platform for kids since the 1990s. From its popular cartoon shows — a.k.a “Nicktoons” — to its adult-oriented content on Nick At Nite, the studio became the most famous among teens for its Teen Nick series. Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, iCarly, Victorious, The Amanda Bynes Show and more were all created by Dan Schneider, who is the subject of Investigation Discovery’s docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.
The documentary features several former Nickelodeon writers, actors and other crew members who have come forward with accusations against Schneider. Now that the on-set secrets were unearthed, Schneider has filed a lawsuit against the producers of Quiet on Set.
Schneider is a former producer and the creator of Nickelodeon’s hit teen-oriented sitcoms and their spinoffs, such as Sam & Cat, and classic films including Big Fat Liar and Good Burger. The Schneider’s Bakery founder is also an actor and a screenwriter.
The four-part series unpacked former employees’ experiences working with Schneider in addition to child molesters, including Brian Peck. Among the most recognizable faces in the Quiet on Set trailer was Zoey 101 alum Alexa Nikolas. She has spoken out about Schneider’s alleged behavior in recent years. At one point in the ID teaser, the actress said, “I’ve been waiting 17 years for today.”
Another former employee, who was not named, added in the trailer, “Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship. Dan’s treatment of people on his shows was an open secret.”
“There was a toxic environment. It made me trust people less,” another added.
