Variety

“We have concluded our investigation and Mark will not be returning to The Royals,” a spokesperson for Lionsgate TV said of Schwahn, who created and served as showrunner on E!’s The Royals after previously creating One Tree Hill. “The fourth season of the show has already completed production and will air as scheduled on E! in the spring.” The investigation was started after former One Tree Hill writer Audrey Wauchope accused Schwahn of sexual harassment, prompting 18 women who worked on the series to share their own stories of Schwahn's alleged inappropriate behavior on the set of the former CW series. Shortly after, 25 cast and crew members of The Royals  also accused Schwahn of sexual harassment.
