Drake Bell will appear in a fifth episode of Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV on Investigation Discovery (ID), according to Variety.
Entitled ‘Breaking the Silence,’ the episode is scheduled to air on April 7 on ID and stream the next day on Max.
Journalist Soledad O’Brien will lead ‘an important discussion about the industry, then and now.’
The episode will be ‘building off the revelations explored in the first four episodes,’ including a conversation about ‘where the industry can go from here.’
‘With Breaking the Silence, we’re digging deeper into the crucial conversations the docuseries ignited and exploring the lingering questions left in their wake to provide further insight from the brave voices who’ve spoken out previously and those who are coming forward again,’ said ID president Jason Sarlanis.

In addition to Bell (The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh), the episode will feature additional interviews with All That stars Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne.
Also featured is Hearne’s mother Tracey Brown.
Breaking the Silence will also include a new interview with All That cast member Shane Lyons.
Bell, 37, revealed for the first time on Quiet on Set that he was the minor who accused acting coach Brian Peck of sexual abuse.
While appearing last week on The Sarah Fraser Show podcast, Bell said he checked into rehab after giving his first Quiet on Set interview.
‘I just felt really comfortable in that interview, but I was going through so much in my personal life and after that interview I ended up checking myself into rehab,’ he said.
‘Once I got out, I thought to myself, “Maybe this is a good time to reach back out to them and say hey, I’m not 100% yet, let’s talk some more.
‘But I’m getting closer to feeling comfortable with finally sharing my story,” added Bell.
Peck, now 63, was arrested in 2003 and served 16 months in prison, in addition to being ordered to register as a sex offender.
