Savage was fired from the series following an investigation into unspecified “accusations of inappropriate conduct,” the company spokesperson told CNN in an email.
“We were recently made aware of allegations of inappropriate behavior by Fred Savage, and as is the policy, an investigation has been launched,” 20th Television said in a statement. “Upon its completion, a decision was made to terminate his employment as executive producer and director of ‘The Wonder Years’.”
Savage, who starred in the show’s original series when it aired in the late 1980s, served as the executive producer and director for the show’s revival, according to ABC.
20th Television is a subsidiary of Disney Television Studios and produces the series, according to ABC.
Savage did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Adapted by Saladin K. Patterson, the show returns to roughly the same time period that began in 1968 as the previous version, revealing the drama and gripping qualities of those years.
