Continuing, Nickelodeon gave thanks to Schneider and his team at Bakery for the work they put into its lineup.

"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 statement 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 shortly after Nickelodeon canceled Schneider's latest series, Game Shakers. Deadline says the network is slated to move forward with the fifth season of Henry Danger, a series that Schneider helped create. As for The Adventures of Kid Danger, no word has been given on its future.

The new report goes on to state that Schneider's exit comes after "multiple complaints of abusive behavior" were allegedly filed against the producer. Over the years, rumors about Schneider's behavior have circulated, and Deadline writes that a recent temper flareup regarding Game Shakers' cancellation occurred not too long ago.

If you are not familiar with Schneider's tenure at Nickelodeon, it is a lengthy one. The producer is often credited with discovering some of the network's most famous talent like Amanda Bynes, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, and more. Schneider was one of Nickelodeon's top live-action producers as he oversaw classic series like iCarly and continued producing hits thanks to recent series like Henry Danger.
