For years there has been ongoing allegations about sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood. This horrible side to the culture of movies and television dates back all the way to the 1930s from Shirley Temple to now in 2024 with actors such as Drake Bell (Drake and Josh, Superhero Movie), Kyle Sullivan (Malcolm in the Middle, All That) and actresses Alexa Nikolas (Zoey 101, Hidden Hills), and Giovannie Samuels (All That, Suite Life of Zack and Cody). They have each come out with their own stories of harassment and assault at the hands of the adults who were supposed to protect them on set.
“Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” is a five-part documentary series that talks about the exploitation of child actors, convicted pedophiles, parental failures, hidden racism, and prejudices against female writers. A lot of the documentary also talks about the accusations against Nickelodeon’s “Golden Boy” Dan Schneider, who created hit shows such as The Amanda Show, Zoey 101, iCarly, All That, Drake and Josh, Good Burger, and Victorious. With over 2 million views on HBO and ID, Quiet On Set is a hit.
