“On Monday, we received an anonymous email containing historical allegations about a producer on one of our titles,” Netflix said in a statement. “Whilst the allegations are unrelated to his time on the show, we immediately removed him from the production and referred the matter to the police.” Hanson is a longtime collaborator of Gervais', having worked with him on Extras and Derek. “I am shocked and appalled to learn of the historical allegations made by a number of women against Charlie Hanson,” Gervais said in a statement “The decision was made to immediately remove him from production and I am confident the matter is being handled thoroughly.”
