Sorry if it's already been said but people think it's Gary Reich because he's got a long history with RG around the right time, directed some of his work at Edinburgh Fringe before the real-life version of the freakout in the comedy show happened circa 2016. His production company Brown Eyed Boy had further involvement with RG e.g. one thing I spotted from a casual browse was RG had a very minor role in a BEB production which aired in 2017, before GR resigned as director.
Some timeline stuff I find interesting:
Could all just be coincidence obviously- RG worked with others etc etc
Some timeline stuff I find interesting:
- Netflix order production for 'Turn Up Charlie' (created by Idris Elba and Gary Reich) in April 2018 and it premieres in March 2019
- 'Baby Reindeer' play debuts at Edinburgh Fringe summer 2019, does very well
- 'Turn up Charlie' cancelled by Netflix in April 2020
- Netflix mention they look forward to continuing work with Idris Elba and thank him especially, but refer to as Gary Reich to one of three 'executive producers' whom they issue lesser thanks to and avoid mentioning future work with (tbf some others are not mentioned at all, and understand they'd be keen only to preserve the relationship with the big name)
- 'Baby Reindeer' adaptation for Netflix announced December 2020
