The 45-year-old actor’s dismissal comes amid “three separate allegations” of misconduct, which were “investigated” and led to his dismissal.
“Recently, we became aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage and, as is policy, an investigation has been launched,” the Wonder Years 20th Television producer said in a statement.
They continued, “Upon completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as executive producer and director of The Wonder Years.”
Savage was a child star when he appeared on the original series, which ran on ABC from 1988 to 1993 and followed a suburban white family in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
A new version of the show, which features Don Cheadle as the narrator, premiered last fall. The new series revolves around a black family living in Montgomery, Alabama in the late 1960s.

Savage is married to commercial real estate agent Jennifer Lynn Stone. They have three children.
Four years ago, her former on-screen mother, Alley Mills, claimed that Wonder Years’ original cancellation followed a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Savage and Jason Hervey, which she said was settled out of court.
Monique Long, the woman who accused the then 16-year-old of sexual harassment, worked as a costume designer on the set.
She accused both Savage and Hervey of ‘verbally and physically harassing her,’ according to Deadline.
In response to Mills being put off by her claims, she told the outlet via email: “My only response to Ms. Mills’ smears is that it proves exactly why women in the industry are forced to remain silent about harassment. sexual”.
During his interview with yahoo!the show’s matriarch described the accusations against Savage as “completely ridiculous”.

Four years ago, her former on-screen mother, Alley Mills, claimed that the original cancellation of Wonder Years “came after a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against Savage (then 16) and Jason Hervey (then 20), which he said was settled out of court” (seen in 1988)
He went on to call Savage “the least offensive, most wonderful, sweetest human being that ever walked the face of the earth.”
“So I thought it was a big joke and it was going to happen,” he added.
While no further details of his misconduct have been confirmed, a source told Deadline the accusations included ‘verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior’.
In 2019, Savage was accused by Youngjoo Hwang, a crew member of his short-lived sitcom The Grinder, of assault, battery, harassment, and discrimination in a complaint filed in 2018.
The lawsuit was settled out of court and the case was dismissed.
Savage is also known for his acting roles in Fox’s The Grinder and Netflix’s Friends From College.
“The case was settled and we have dismissed the lawsuit,” Hwang’s lawyer, Anahita Sedaghatfar, told Page Six.
Adding: ‘We are very satisfied with the resolution’.
TMZ reported that the case had been dismissed with prejudice and that a settlement had probably been reached.
Hwang worked in the wardrobe department on Fox’s The Grinder, where Savage ironically played a lawyer.
Her original allegations stemmed from 2015 when she alleged that Savage subjected her to verbal attacks in front of her colleagues.
Hwang’s attorney told Page Six that she and her client “are very pleased with the resolution” (The accuser pictured in 2015 at a press conference announcing the lawsuit)
Allegations: The victim claimed that on one occasion, Fred “severely beaten” her three times while she was brushing dandruff off her clothes.
She further claimed that on one occasion, Fred “severely beaten” her three times while she was brushing dandruff off her clothes.
Hwang was reportedly not the only one who felt victimized, stating in court documents that Savage abused female crew members by yelling at them to stop following him and once yelled, “Don’t look at me!”
As for her personally, she alleged that Savage once told her, ‘It’s so fucking annoying that I have to be nice to you when I hate you!’
From the moment of the presentation, Savage maintained his innocence, the network backed him up after an investigation.
“I learned that a woman who worked in the wardrobe department for a show I was on almost three years ago claimed that I treated her harshly on set simply because she was a woman,” she said in a statement at the time.
“My hope is that by speaking out, other women who have been abused will find the courage to do the same,” her attorney said in a statement about the settlement.
Adding: ‘These accusations are completely unfounded and absolutely false. Fox conducted an extensive internal investigation into his claims, a process in which he fully participated.”
Fox agreed, issuing a subsequent statement stating that their investigation found no evidence to support Hwang’s claims.
‘We conducted a thorough investigation into these allegations and found no evidence of any wrongdoing by Mr Savage.
“We will vigorously defend ourselves against these baseless claims,” the network said.
