On March 17th and March 18th, ID aired Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. It was a four-part documentary on the shows which were produced by Dan Schneider, like The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, iCarly, Zoey 101, Sam & Cat, and so many more.
The docuseries looked into claims of sexual, mental, and racial abuse on the set of the producer’s shows. But the most shocking reveal was that Drake Bell says that he was sexually abused by dialogue coach Brian Peck when he was just 15 years old.
Since then, Schneider, Bell, other Nickelodeon actors and crew, and fans of the Nick shows have been talking about the shocking revelations.
Because of that, ID has greenlit a fifth episode, which will air on Sunday, April 7th.
“With Breaking the Silence, we’re digging deeper into the crucial conversations the docuseries ignited and exploring the lingering questions left in their wake to provide further insight from the brave voices who’ve spoken out previously and those who are coming forward again,” said Jason Sarlanis, President, TNT, TBS, TruTV, ID & HLN, Linear and Streaming.
Breaking the Silence will feature Drake Bell, All That’s Giovonnie Samuels, and Bryan Hearne, his mother Tracey Brown, and newcomer to the doc Shane Lyons will join the conversation hosted by Soledad O’Brien.
They will discuss the industry then, now, and how they can improve it in the future.
Quiet on Set has been viewed by 16 million people and counting on ID and Max and is Max’s most-viewed unscripted series.
