Nickelodeon alums allege ‘abusive relationship’ with Dan Schneider, ‘toxic environment’ on set in new doc trailer

ID dropped a trailer for its upcoming documentary “Quiet on Set” — which contains explosive allegations against disgraced former Nickelodeon kiddie TV titan Dan Schneider.

“Quiet on Set,” a four-part docuseries, investigates Schneider, who created Nickelodeon hits including “The Amanda Show, “Drake & Josh,” Zoey 101″ and “iCarly, ” which launched the likes of Amanda Bynes, Jamie Lynn Spears, Victoria Justice, and Miranda Cosgrove into stardom.

Schneider, a former child actor, was dropped by Nickelodeon in 2018 after a 25-year relationship following an investigation into his alleged abusive behavior towards people with whom he worked on the set.

“‘Quiet on Set’ pulls back the curtain on an empire, built by creator Dan Schneider, that had an undeniable grip on popular culture,” ID said in press materials for the documentary.

“Series such as ‘All That’ and ‘The Amanda Show,’ among others, were obsessively consumed by children across the country and defined comedy for a generation.

“But behind the upbeat onscreen presence on these shows with questionable jokes and over-the-top sketches, ‘Quiet on Set’ reveals an insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.”

The documentary is directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz.

“Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship,” a former employee who is not named claims in the trailer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“There was a toxic environment. It made me trust people less,” says another person associated with Nickelodeon.

“Quiet on Set” does give Schneider his due in creating television that influenced an entire generation — but it alleges that all was not so rosy behind the scenes, and that underage stars and crew were treated inappropriately, according to THR.

It features cast and crew from Nick series including “iCarly,” “Sam & Cat” (co-starring Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy), “Victorious” and Marc Summers from Nick’s game show “Double Dare,” according to ID.

Former “All That” cast members Giovonnie Samuels, Kyle Sullivan, Bryan Hearne and Katrina Johnson — and director Virgil Fabian — “pull back the curtain on the culture on set of the beloved teen sketch series,” according to ID.

“The Amanda Show” writers Jenny Kilgen and Christy Stratton “expose allegations of a toxic and sexist environment” in the show’s writers room, while “Alexa Nikolas offers insight into being a part of ‘Zoey 101,’ the network said.

It will chronicle “a pattern of gross, abusive, and manipulative behavior that unfolded across decade, as well as exclusive stories about child predators on set,” they added.

“Quiet on Set” weaves interviews and archival footage with scenes from the shows and social media commentary — and, according to ID, “will also offer emotional testimony from parents of cast members who attempted to advocate for their children on these sets.”

The documentary will air over two nights, March 17 and 18 (9-11 p.m), on ID.
