According to Deadline, Toby Haynes will helm the Disney+ series after Tony Gilroy dropped out for COVID-19-related travel reasons.
The outlet reports that New York-based Gilroy decided he would not be able to head over to the U.K. for the shoot amid the current pandemic, with British PM Boris Johnson telling citizens on Tuesday that the country may be heading for a second lockdown.
Instead, U.K.-based director Toby Haynes, who also worked on “Black Mirror” and “Utopia”, will take over Gilroy’s role.
