Fred Savage has been fired from his role as executive producer of ABC’s reboot of “The Wonder Years” due to what’s being characterized as “inappropriate conduct.” On Friday, May 6, a spokesperson for 20th Television — which produces the series — issued a statement announcing Savage’s termination. “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” reads the statement. “Upon its completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of ‘The Wonder Years’.” READ MORE: Fred Savage Explains Why He Missed ‘The Princess Bride’ Zoom Reunion Savage shot to fame as a child star on the original iteration of “The Wonder Years”, which aired from 1988 until 1993; recent acting roles have included the 2021 TV series “What Just Happened?” and co-starring alongside Rob Lowe in Fox sitcom “The Grinder”.
