A new trailer for Investigation Discovery’s docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV reveals new allegations against former Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider.
The latest trailer for the four-part docuseries features interviews with former employees who worked under Schneider and allege that working with him was similar to being in an abusive relationship. Schneider’s past first came to light in 2018 when reports surfaced that he not only had a temper, but was also accused of verbally abusing colleagues.
“Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship,” a former employee says in the trailer. “There was a toxic environment. It made me trust people less,” another Nickelodeon alum alleged.
