Will There Be A ‘Quiet on Set’ Season 2?

Investigation Discovery’s new docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV explores the toxic culture behind some of the most popular Nickelodeon shows from the late 1990s and early 2000s. The series premiered to great success on Mar. 17 and has since been watched by over 16 million viewers across the network, Max, and Dicovery+.

Following the release of the initial four episodes, ID returned for a fifth episode which features never-before-seen footage from the series, as well as new interviews by journalist Soledad O’Brien with subjects Drake Bell, Giovonnie Samuels, and former child actor Shane Lyons.

In the series, the Drake & Josh actor details the abuse he faced from Nickelodeon coach Brian Peck while working on The Amanda Show and All That. “I was sleeping on the couch where I would usually sleep. I woke up to him, I opened my eyes, I woke up and he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell recalls. “I froze and was in complete shock and had no idea what to do or how to react.”

Viewers have been surprised by the information that the docuseries has uncovered, and many wonder if there are still stories to be told. Will there be another season of Quiet on Set? Here’s everything we know.

Will There Be A Quiet on Set Season 2?

As of now, Investigation Discovery has not announced plans to continue Quiet on Set, despite the docuseries’s instant success. Though, the directors of the series are open to making more.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, directors and executive producers Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz express that there’s “more to say” about how child actors were treated on Nickelodeon sets.

“We would be happy to make four more hours on this subject,” Robertson told THR. “There’s definitely more to say. But listen, it was really important to us to offer those whose accounts, whose stories and experiences had previously been pushed into the shadows, the opportunity to bring their stories from the shadows and onto center stage and in the spotlight.”

On the topic of Bell getting ample screen time, compared to the other interview subjects, Robertson continues: “Unfortunately, we couldn’t give everyone 45 minutes, or we would have had a 12 hour series. I do think it would be wonderful for a continued exploration. We’d love to hear from more people who worked in this ecosystem and would like to share experiences.”

So, it sounds like the door is open for another season of Quiet on Set. Interested viewers will just have to wait and see what ID decides to do next.

Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV is streaming on Max and Discovery+.
