In the docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, audiences get a behind-the-scenes look into the unsavoury and sometimes illegal practices of Nickelodeon.
And from today, the tell-all documentary will be available to stream in Australia.
Here's what we know about the series and where you can watch it.
Why is everyone talking about the documentary?
Because it shows the dark reality behind some of the most iconic Nickelodeon children's programs of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
"There's a dark underbelly to child stardom," said Bryan Hearne, an All That alum, in the documentary.
The blockbuster series has also sparked a movement among former child actors to bring change to the industry.
Investigation Discovery (who put the project together) reported that the first four episodes were watched by more than 16 million viewers.
What is Quiet on Set about?
Quiet on Set is a docuseries featuring Nickelodeon cast and crew who share their personal stories about on-set experiences working alongside Dan Schneider.
Schneider was the creator behind beloved series like the Amanda Show, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, iCarly and Victorious.
It explores allegations of abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate behaviour involving underage stars and crew members on Nickelodeon TV show sets — with Schneider at the helm.
Who is in the Quiet on Set documentary?
The series features several people who worked alongside Schneider across the Nickelodeon network, including Drake & Josh's Drake Bell.
In the documentary, Bell reveals for the first time to be the John Doe victim in Brian Peck's child abuse case.
Peck worked with Schneider as an acting and dialogue coach on All That and The Amanda Show.
In 2004, Peck pled no contest to two charges of child sexual abuse. He received a sentence of 16 months in jail and had to register as a sex offender.
Have Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider responded to the documentary?
Two days after the series premiered, Schneider broke his silence by posting a 19-minute video to YouTube.
Schneider, who has kept a low profile since going on "hiatus" in 2021, apologised for the behaviours exposed in the documentary.
"Watching over the past few nights was very difficult," he said.
"It was wrong I ever put anyone in that position."
In response to allegations of creating a hostile work environment, Schneider said he made "practical jokes that went too far".
"No writer should ever feel uncomfortable in any writers' room ever, period, the end, no excuses."
The Nickelodeon Network also released a statement after the documentary was released.
The network said it would "investigate all formal complaints" and had "adopted numerous safeguards over the years", but added that it "cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviours from productions decades ago."
Who has spoken out following the Quiet on Set revelations?
Drake Bell's co-star Josh Peck (no relation to Brian Peck), released a statement via Instagram saying he had reached out to Bell privately. He also commended others in the documentary for speaking out.

Where will Quiet on Set be streaming?
Episodes one and two will be available on Binge, ID, and Fetch from today.

The fifth episode, entitled Breaking the Silence, will premiere on April 19.
