Former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider has been allowed to proceed with his defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and the producers of the docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled on Nov. 22 that Schneider’s case was not frivolous, emphasizing that it was based on a documentary that could reasonably be seen as making damaging implications about his conduct. Schneider filed the lawsuit after the series, which aired in March 2024, accused him of inappropriate behavior behind the scenes of the popular kids’ TV shows he created.
