These allegations included throwing objects at staff and threats of career retribution, which came to light during the #MeToo movement.

Scott Rudin, a prominent Broadway producer, is planning his return to the theater scene in 2025 after stepping away in 2021 due to serious abuse allegations.

Following these accusations, Rudin faced significant backlash, with collaborators like A24 severing ties and Broadway stars calling for productions to distance themselves from him.

He has undergone therapy and self-reflection, acknowledging the harm he caused while recognizing that not everyone may welcome his comeback.

Next spring, he plans to stage 'Montauk', a play by David Hare, featuring Laurie Metcalf and directed by Joe Mantello.

Despite the anger some may feel towards him, Rudin has expressed a desire to return to producing and has publicly apologized for his past behavior.

Rudin aims to fill what he perceives as a gap in post-pandemic Broadway programming by producing four plays, three of which will be staged on Broadway.

Rudin is also developing 'Little Bear Ridge Road' by Samuel D. Hunter, starring Metcalf, set for fall 2025.

Looking ahead, he hopes to revive 'Death of a Salesman' in the following season with Metcalf and Nathan Lane, again under Mantello's direction.

In light of Rudin's return, Al Vincent Jr. from Actors’ Equity Association noted that new measures have been implemented to enhance protections against workplace bullying and harassment.

Rudin's previous works include acclaimed productions such as 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'The Book of Mormon', and he is an EGOT winner.

Additionally, he will produce 'Cottonfield', a new play by Bruce Norris, this fall, and an Off-Broadway production of 'What We Did Before Our Moth Days' by Wallace Shawn next winter.
