But despite the controversy, it is still believed to be keen to stop Scottish star Richard, 35, being snapped up by a rival broadcaster.
A TV insider said: “This is not a done deal, with both the streamer and Richard negotiating the details of a contract which would see him start work on a new show as soon as possible.
“The fact that it could end up being worth seven figures reflects just how much Netflix want to keep him ‘in house’ following the incredible response to Baby Reindeer.
“They are hoping they can come to an agreement that will see Richard produce a string of shows for them, which could prove just as successful and thought-provoking.”
Lawyers representing Netflix are defending a claim made by Ms Harvey, who says the black comedy — watched by 50million viewers globally — told “brutal lies” about her.
She is suing for defamation, negligence and privacy violations — claiming she was falsely depicted as a convicted criminal who spent time in prison for stalking.
The seven-parter, which first aired in April, tells the story of aspiring comedian Donny Dunn (played by Richard) who meets Martha while working in a North London pub.
Netflix declined to comment on any potential deal.

Meghan Markle is in trouble
According to Daily Mail sources, Meghan Markle filmed a cooking show at one of California’s largest cannabis farms. However, insiders confirmed to Page Six that is not the case.
Meghan Markle is on a journey to become Hollywood’s new lifestyle queen, with the American Riviera Orchard brand. The latest move to achieve that ambition is to film a cooking show for Netflix.
On May 1, Daily Mail sources said that the Duchess of Sussex and a crew of about 50 people were filming for the show...

According to sources, so far, Meghan has avoided filming at the $14 million villa in Montecito (California, USA) where she and her husband and children live. Instead, she borrowed a smaller house but still about 418 square meters, about 3.2 km from home, to use as her first filming location. The owners of the $5 million house are philanthropic couple Tom and Sherrie Cipolla. The second filming location is Farmlane – the Van Wingerden family’s cannabis farm in the coastal town of Carpinteria (California).
Van Wingerdens is known as the largest legal cannabis supplier in the area. Farmlane owners David and Cindy Van Wingerden turned the flower farm into a cannabis mecca in 2015.
In California, the production and distribution of marijuana is legal. However, the activities of the Van Wingerden family and other cannabis farms caused discontent among people in the surrounding area because they created a foul smell that polluted the air.
According to the Daily Mail , Carpinteria residents filed 2,340 odor complaints between mid-2018 and 2022. In September 2023, households in the area filed a class-action lawsuit against two marijuana farms (no relation to Van Wingerden’s business), with claims the value of their property was severely damaged by a sewer-like odor.
The lawsuit states that residents have to endure the strong smell of marijuana almost every day. Their house and clothes were seriously stained. Some people also experience breathing problems, headaches and nausea.
While Daily Mail asked how Meghan would deal with the stench when choosing a cannabis farm as a place to cook, Page Six ‘s own source denied the information.
Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the show was not filmed in or near any marijuana farms. This person added that the filming sessions were taking place at a private home and any other names given were false.

It comes after royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Kate’s cancer diagnosis could be an “enormous game changer” in the royal feud.
The Princess of Wales revealed she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year.
