Dan Schneider not involved

The creator of Victorious, Dan Schneider, will not be involved in the spin-off series, Hollywood Arts. Schneider left Nickelodeon in 2018, and his previous workplace environment has been put under the spotlight. Investigation Discovery aired a documentary series, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, that delved into the atmosphere of Schneider's shows.

Schneider has since responded to these allegations, first by apologizing and then by filing a defamation lawsuit against the producers of Quiet on Set. The new series will be produced by a fresh creative team, ensuring a different approach to the Victorious legacy.
