Wed Mar 26 06:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Former “Drake & Josh” Stars Reunite to Discuss Childhood Trauma and Show’s Legacy
**LOS ANGELES** – Josh Peck and Drake Bell, the stars of the hit Nickelodeon show “Drake & Josh,” are reuniting publicly for the first time since the release of the 2024 documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” The reunion will take place on Peck’s podcast, “Good Guys,” where the former co-stars will discuss their experiences growing up as child actors and the aftermath of their time on the show.
A sneak peek released to People magazine reveals a poignant conversation addressing the fallout from the documentary, which included Bell’s revelation of being sexually assaulted as a teenager by his dialogue coach, Brian Peck (no relation to Josh). The conversation delves into the immense pressure and responsibility placed on the young actors, who were “treated like adults,” according to podcast co-host Ben Soffer.
Peck expressed his desire to protect the positive memories associated with “Drake & Josh,” acknowledging the show’s enduring impact on fans while simultaneously confronting the difficult realities of their childhood experiences. Bell is shown visibly emotional in the trailer. The pair discuss their lack of prior communication about the trauma and whether they’ve reached out to former co-star Amanda Bynes following the documentary’s release.
The documentary revealed that Brian Peck was arrested in 2003 on multiple charges including sodomy and lewd acts with a minor, with the victim’s identity revealed for the first time in the film.
This highly anticipated reunion marks the first time the pair have publicly discussed the revelations made in “Quiet on Set.” The two-part podcast episode will premiere on March 24th and 27th. Bell previously expressed his desire to work with Peck again, suggesting a potential future project that would explore their lives as adult versions of their iconic characters.
