Nickelodeon Parts Ways With TV Series Producer Dan Schneider

Something tells me that Nickelodeon decided to cut Mr. Schneider loose before the you know what really started to hit the fan.

EXCLUSIVE: Nickelodeon has ended its long relationship with one of its most prolific series creators, Dan Schneider.

“Following many conversations together about next directions and future opportunities, Nickelodeon and our long-time creative partner Dan Schneider/Schneider’s Bakery have agreed to not extend the current deal,” Nickelodeon said in a statement to Deadline. “Since several Schneider’s Bakery projects are wrapping up, both sides agreed that this is a natural time for Nickelodeon and Schneider’s Bakery to pursue other opportunities and projects.

“Dan and his Schneider’s Bakery team have created a string of lasting, groundbreaking hits over the years including iCarly, Drake & Josh, Victorious, Kenan & Kel and the current number-one hit show on Nickelodeon, Henry Danger, the network continued. “We thank Dan and his Schneider’s Bakery producers, executives and social media team for their immeasurable contributions to Nickelodeon, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors. And Dan and Schneider’s Bakery are proud of the work they did together with Nickelodeon and will always remain big fans of the network.”

The decision comes as Nickelodeon has opted to cancel Schneider’s latest series, Game Shakers after three seasons. I hear the network intends to move forward with a fifth season of Schneider’s remaining live-action Nick series, Henry Danger. (He also has the animated The Adventures of Kid Danger, whose future is unclear.)

“After three seasons and 63 episodes, Nickelodeon has wrapped production on its live-action series Game Shakers,” Nickelodeon said in a statement to Deadline. “We are proud of the show’s success, and our dedicated and talented cast and crew. Premieres will continue to air throughout 2018.”

Among other things, I hear there had been multiple complaints of abusive behavior against Schneider filed by members of his staff.

Schneider has been Nick’s top creator/showrunner of live-action comedy hits for the past two decades. He is credited in part with discovering such young actresses as Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes, Jami Lynn Spears and Victoria Justice who were case as leads of his series.

But along with all his success, for years, Schneider had been under a cloud of suspicion over the treatment of some younger stars of his shows. Among the things that have raised eyebrows are his tweeted photos of the toes of his young female stars. Additionally, there have been issues with bloated budgets and long production days on Schneider’s shows.

Schneider has had well documented temper issues for years. I hear there was a flareup last week when Schneider — along with the shows cast and crew — was informed that Game Shakers, was not getting renewed for a fourth season and that another series, Kevin Kopelow and Health Seifert’s Austin & Ally, would move into its production space in the Nickelodeon-owned Burbank studios where Schneider’s series had been based exclusively for the past few years.

Why am I not surprised by all of this?

I can't say what has happened with Dan Schneider. It's sad that Dan Schneider sitcoms isn't getting any good plots, but at least the ratings has been doing well for all shows except Game Shakers, and somewhat Adventures of Kid Danger. There were also some staff that left Nickelodeon: Chris Savino and Butch Hartman.

Game Shakers will end after season 3, Henry Danger renewed for season 5 but will do without Dan Schneider's involvement, just like Loud House will continue season 3 and season 4 without Chris Savino

I am surprised none of sitcomsonline members except me and few members know Dan Schneider who was known for Nick live actions: first was All That

Apparently he was disrespectful to the animation side of Nickelodeon, and thinks making a cartoon doesn't require hard work.

It doesn't surprise me that Schneider has the reputation of being a weirdo, though. Never forget that Freddy's apartment number in iCarly was a blatant phallic symbol.

I have a feeling there's more to this story that we aren't hearing, and people are afraid to come clean about Dan Schneider. I knew he was a creep and this news hardly shocks me.

Good riddance to that digusting creep. I hope victims come forward.

Here's something not surprising. Due to Dan Schneider news going around, iCarly, Victorious, SamAndCat and GameShakers all had their own websites... until a few days ago (likely April, 4). They now redirect to the shows' pages on Nick(.)com, so all content from iCarly(.)com, TheSlap(.)com, SamAndCat(.)com and GameShakers(.)com is gone. ☹️

But DanWarp blog and his own site, youtube danwarp is still running, though we don't know how long it would stay active.

Never knew he would do such things. I lost respect for him.
