The gritty real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scottish creator and leading man Richard Gadd, 34.
The then struggling comedian, while working in a London bar, gives Martha a free cup of tea before things turn sinister.
The series claims it bombarded the bartender with more than 41,000 e-mails after that.
She also sent him hundreds of tweets and hours of voicemails over the alleged four-year campaign of terror.
Harvey will now break his silence in an uncensored interview with Piers Morgan on YouTube at 8pm.
Morgan said: “Reindeer comes off the cover and gives me her first TV interview about the Netflix smash hit.
“Fiona Harvey also wants to say ‘make it right’.
“Is she a psychopathic stalker? Find out tomorrow on Piers Morgan uncensored.”
The announcement text for the interview reads: “The real Martha from Baby Reindeer tomorrow on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
“sent from my iphone.”
In Baby Reindeer, a misspelling of “ihphone” for iPhone reveals that Martha isn’t actually emailing from an Apple device.
Scottish law graduate Fiona previously branded Gadd ‘pathetic’ in a fierce blast on social media.
‘Gives me nightmares,’ say Baby Reindeer fans who say they can’t sleep and ‘switch off after episode 4’
She wrote online: “Everything about Gadd will not be discussed now until my TV show is over.
“I hope you all hear from each other. The explosive real truth about Gadd has finally come out.
Ms Harvey added: “I’m very nervous about my TV appearance.”
Gadd claimed he went to great lengths to hide the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life.
The comic begged fans not to look for the real Martha – but internet detectives exposed Harvey anyway.
Fiona is from Fyvie in Aberdeenshire and says she met Gadd years ago when he was barman at The Hawley Arms in Camden.
