The same colorful, slap-stick TV shows that had kids of the '90s and 2000s laughing at their screens were secretly nightmares for the kids acting on them behind the scenes, according to the upcoming Investigation Discovery (ID) documentary "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV."
Set to premiere Sunday, the tell-all doc promises to take viewers behind the scenes of Nickelodoean's golden age, unveiling the toxic and even allegedly abusive environments some of the era's biggest child stars say they worked in.
The documentary, inspired by investigative reporting by Kate Taylor of Business Insider, features the voices of some former Nickelodeon royalty who have not spoken publicly before, notably Drake Bell, who recently revealed the alleged sexual abuse he claims he suffered at the hands of former Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck.
Some other familiar faces are set to appear, like Alexa Nikolas of "Zoe 101" and several cast members of "All That," alongside people who worked behind the cameras on the shows that defined children's television of the time. While some Nick alumni have been vocal about their experiences for a while, like Nikolas, others, like Bell, will be sharing their stories publicly for the first time.
Here is what we know so far about who is set to appear in the doc and who has already commented on their lives behind the scenes at Nick.

Additionally, producers, writers and other behind-the-scenes workers from shows like "All That," "The Amanda Show," "Zoey 101," "Sam & Cat, "Drake & Josh" and "Victorious" will be speaking on the doc, among others.
"All That" director Virgil Fabian and"The Amanda Show" writers Jenny Kilgen and Christy Stratton are some of the behind-the-scenes characters set to appear, according to the ID channel.
