Storyline:

QuietOnSet pulls back the curtain on an empire, built by creator Dan Schneider, that had an undeniable grip on popular culture. 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.–Investigation Discovery

About Quiet on Set The Dark Side of Kids TV Series:

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV is an American crime documentary television series directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz. The series was produced by Maxine Productions with Sony Pictures Television Nonfiction and Business Insider.

A documentary uncovers the toxic culture behind some of the most iconic children’s shows of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was loosely based on a Business Insider article about Nickelodeon from 2022.

During the second half of the doc series, Drake Bell comes forward for the first time, revealing he was the John Doe victim in Brian Peck’s child abuse case. Peck, who worked as a dialogue and acting coach under Schneider on “All That” and “The Amanda Show,” was arrested for child sexual abuse in 2003 and served 16 months in prison and registered as a child sex offender. Until now, the case, and the multiple letters of support for Peck, written by other actors, was sealed and Bell’s identity was secret.

The first four episodes aired on March 17-18, 2024, on Investigation Discovery, and the fifth episode aired on April 7. The series was simultaneously released on Max and Discovery+.

After the series was released, the show was positively reviewed by audiences and critics, with praise given to individuals who alleged having negative experiences working at Nickelodeon. However, criticism was drawn to the documentary not going into detail about Nickelodeon’s workplace culture.
