Back by popular demand? Possibly! Investigation Discovery has ordered a fifth episode of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. The docuseries details the reality of what goes on behind the scenes at some of the most popular shows for kids. Specifically, Quiet on Set focuses on Nickelodeon and the allegations of abuse, sexism, and racism.
The biggest and most shocking reveal from the ID docuseries, is Drake Bell's story. The actor, who starred in All That and Drake & Josh, shares his story for the first time. Bell reveals that he is the "John Doe" who reported the horrifying abuse he suffered at the hands of his former dialogue coach, Brian Peck.
We'd like to warn you, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV can be triggering. If you have yet to watch it, read a few reviews about it before diving in.
Now, Quiet on Set only features four episodes. After episode 4 dropped, fans took to Google to search for episode 5 details, such as when it would drop. Unfortunately, fans were left disappointed by the fact that Quiet on Set is only a 4-part docuseries. That is, until now.
