Last Thursday, FX confirmed that its adaptation of James Clavell’s “Shōgun” will continue past its first season and thus compete as a drama series rather than a limited one at the upcoming Emmys. Since it had spent the preceding three weeks as Gold Derby’s predicted Best Limited Series winner and was expected to reap several acting nominations, every drama and limited race was shaken up by its reclassification – and the dust still has not settled.
Within 48 hours of the “Shōgun” shift, our 2,500+ Emmy predictors came to the consensus that it will be nominated for Best Drama Series and all of the corresponding main acting awards. Even lead actor Cosmo Jarvis and supporting actress Moeka Hoshi, who never quite managed to reach predicted nominee status before, quickly broke into our forecasted drama lineups. Jarvis and his seemingly more secure lead male costar, Hiroyuki Sanada, displaced both Tom Hiddleston (“Loki...

Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer quickly captivated audiences around the globe upon its debut on Netflix. However, what intrigued viewers most was the real-life events that served as the show’s inspiration. As fans attempt to uncover the identity of the sexual abuser who inspired a character, the situation has escalated to the point where legal action is being considered, creating a whirlwind of controversy that shows no signs of calming down.

Richard Gadd is just going to let the internet do its thing. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, published Monday, the Baby Reindeer creator reiterated that he would not confirm or deny the real-life identities of the people portrayed in the Netflix show.
“I know for every single part, there’s been about five or six people who have been sort of named as each part, even all the way down to the pub manager,” Gadd said. “The internet’s always going to do its thing. I can’t really comment on that.

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we revisit the limited races, now with “Baby Reindeer” in the mix.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’re back to type about the limited series race, which remains fairly top-heavy despite what the odds might suggest. To wit: Netflix smash “Baby Reindeer” is only in fifth place in our odds, even though it’s all-but-assured of being extremely win-competitive in this race and could usurp “Shōgun” in the end as the year’s one true sensation of the year (if the latter doesn’t move to drama as widely speculated this week). You were the earliest adopter of the Netflix juggernaut, which made landfall in Los Angeles this week for a splashy FYC event. The show feels assured of several top nominations,...

Baby Reindeer‘s real-life Martha has slammed the Netflix series as an “obscene” and “defamatory” work of fiction, claiming that she is instructing lawyers to sue the streamer.
In an interview with Piers Morgan (full video below), Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey said she had been “forced” into telling her side of the story after Baby Reindeer became an enormous global hit.
Baby Reindeer was billed as a “true story” and provides a searingly raw account of comedian Richard Gadd’s experience with an alleged stalker, known as Martha.
But Harvey told Morgan that it was a “work of hyperbole” and “work of fiction” and claimed that she was prepared to test her argument in a court of law.

Doctor Who mastermind Russell T. Davies is weighing in on the controversy surrounding Netflix‘s smash hit series Baby Reindeer.
The writer said in an interview with The Times that the BBC would have been “much stricter” when it comes to disguising the real-life identities of the characters created by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd. “Compliance and editorial policy drives us mad here but I sleep at night,” Davies said.
His comments follow a whirlwind of scrutiny for Netflix producers, and even fans of the series, who took it upon themselves to try and unveil the real people depicted on the show, including the trans woman Gadd’s character dates, played by Nava Mau, and the TV producer who sexually assaults him, portrayed by Tom Goodman-Hill.
On Thursday, British host Piers Morgan will interview a woman named Fiona Harvey who claims to be the inspiration behind the show’s stalker, Martha.

Jessica Gunning, who plays the haunting stalker Martha in Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer,” says creator and star Richard Gadd was on her radar even before she auditioned for the show — ever since she saw his one-man show “Monkey See Monkey Do” at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
“I just thought it was one of the most profound things I’ve ever seen really on stage,” she said. “Then I tried to go and see ‘Baby Reindeer’ the play, but it was sold out. So, I actually bought the play text, which is a bit Martha of me.”
Gadd, Gunning, actor Nava Mau, director Weronika Tofilska and editor Peter Oliver served as panelists Tuesday night at the DGA Theater Complex for Netflix’s FYC screening and panel for the limited series.

Baby Reindeer, the latest runaway hit on Netflix, is a story about a stalker on the surface. However, upon watching the show, it becomes evident that it deals with serious themes of mental health issues, trauma, sexual abuse, and the unhealthy pattern of self-sabotaging loops that are not very unfamiliar to most of us. The show starts with Martha (Jessica Gunning), a middle-aged woman who is obese and looks pale, walking into a bar and getting a free drink offered by Donny (Richard Gadd). Sounds simple enough, right? But things go into an uncontrollable spiral from here, and with each episode, the audience is sucked more and more into the horrors that Donny faces because of his deeds and past trauma that do not let him act rationally.

The Baby Reindeer phenomenon has landed in Los Angeles.
On the heels of Richard Gadd’s limited series becoming a certified sleeper hit by coming in at No. 1 on Netlfix’s English-language TV rankings for a third consecutive week, the streamer welcomed its creator and star to the West Coast. Gadd is making the media rounds this week to discuss the critically acclaimed series inspired by his real-life stalker of six years, and he’s doing so alongside Jessica Gunning, the actress earning raves as the woman who terrorized him.
The pair posted up Tuesday evening on a stage inside the Directors Guild of America with actress Nava Mau and two key members of the Baby Reindeer team — director Weronika Tofilska and editor Peter Oliver — for the show’s first-ever panel discussion.

Given its warm critical reception and past PGA and SAG Award notices, it makes sense that “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” has maintained a massive lead over its Best TV Movie competitors ever since we opened our 2024 Emmys predictions center. However, because the original “Monk” was never even nominated for Best Comedy Series during its eight-season run, the one-off Peacock continuation can’t exactly be considered a shoo-in. In truth, it faces quite a few strong challengers, including the laugh-packed Netflix offering “Unfrosted.”
Hours before its May 3 premiere, “Unfrosted” rose above its 100/1 Gold Derby odds and pulled ahead of both “Finestkind” and “Genie” to become this year’s seventh most likely TV movie nominee. Its next immediate challenge is passing sixth place runner “Scoop” (also from Netflix), which is currently a predicted nominee among our editors and experts.
Limited series acting hopefuls Nicole Kidman (“Expats”) and Johnny Flynn (“Ripley”) also recently improved upon their 100/1 odds,...

Nava Mau is revealing that she shot a scene for Baby Reindeer that was deleted from the Netflix series, which gave her closure alongside her character.
Mau portrayed Teri, a trans woman Richard Gadd’s Donny gets romantically involved with. The relationship eventually sours, and they both end up going their separate ways.
Viewers sympathized with Teri throughout the series and some were disappointed she didn’t get her happy ending with Donny. However, Mau says there was a scene that was cut from the show but gave her the closure she needed.
“There actually was one more piece of Teri and Donny’s relationship in the script, and I performed it,” Mau told GQ in an interview. “Teri leaves Donny a voicemail five months later. So I think, for me, I got closure because Teri did too. That’s what gave me so much comfort, knowing that they found...

Exclusive: Richard Gadd, the creator and star of hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer, has faced questions about his professional conduct after dating a transgender actress who auditioned for his show.
The actor was investigated and ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing by Baby Reindeer producer Clerkenwell Films after a romantic liaison in 2021 with Reece Lyons, who was interested in playing the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend Teri in the stalker drama.
Lyons went public with her experience on Twitter (now X) soon after Baby Reindeer premiered. She did not name Gadd or directly reference Baby Reindeer, but Deadline has verified his identity. Gadd declined to comment, while Lyons did not wish to comment beyond her X thread.
Lyons made clear that she does not believe she was a victim of abuse, but said she was “hurt” by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.” Clerkenwell Films concluded that Gadd had acted appropriately,...

Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer finds stand-up comedian Donny (Gadd) living with his ex-girlfriend’s mother (Nina Sosanya) and working at a Camden pub to supplement his failing career. When, one day, Martha (Jessica Gunning), an overweight middle-aged woman who claims to be a successful lawyer but can’t afford a cup of tea, sits down at the bar, Donny offers it to her on the house. That cup of tea will initiate a years-long “relationship” that will initially flatter Donny’s ego but later prove to be both degrading and petrifying.
The series was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man stage show of the same name, and the actor-writer lends Donny such a piercingly unique voice. Gadd narrates his own horror story with a snappy matter-of-factness, like he’s reluctant to ruminate on one stomach-churning detail for too long before moving on to the next, and a self-awareness that’s never navel-gazing.

It's a rare movie or TV series that comes along and captivates the audience with little more than dialogue.
Seven episodes of dialogue, in fact. Donny Dunn, the narrator and protagonist of Baby Reindeer, walks us through a brief period in his life, allegedly based on the real life of Richard Gadd, the architect of the series.
It's not an uplifting story. Then again, tales of sexual abuse, violent stalking, drugs, psychological self-harm, and random bouts of hypersexuality rarely are.
After spending nearly seven hours walking the dank, twisting corridors of Richard Gadd's hippocampus, some sparkling nuggets of humanity begin to show through the murky darkness.
The human side of the villain is so rare these days. It's what made Marvel's Thanos a surprisingly understandable character. He was evil beyond belief but understandable.
George R.R. Martin is famous (or perhaps infamous) for finding the grey areas in human thought and motivation.

Nava Mau has been seeing the positive response to Baby Reindeer and is reacting to it.
The star of the Netflix limited series who plays Teri, a trans woman Richard Gadd’s Donny meets on a dating site, shared a post on social media following the “overwhelming” reactions to the drama.
“Baby Reindeer has been out for one week, and the response has been overwhelming. Like whoa,” Mau shared on Instagram. “When I first read the script a couple years ago, I saw myself in Teri. I also saw myself in every single character. Richard’s writing invites us to embrace honesty—true, ground-shaking, walls-crumbling honesty. And the truth is that we’re all human after all.”
She continued, “I hope that every single person who worked on this feels as proud as I am. I’m so lucky that Teri belonged to me for just a little while. Now,...

Baby Reindeer opens with a disclosure typical amid today’s boom in crime content: “This is a true story.”
It’s a fitting declaration as the new Netflix limited series, which shot to No. 1 on the streamer’s TV rankings over the weekend to become the latest viral hit, is based on the life and experiences of its creator, writer, executive producer and star, Richard Gadd. The multihyphenate adapted it from his award-winning Edinburgh Festival Fringe one-man play.
Baby Reindeer casts Gadd as Donny Dunn, a struggling comedian who encounters a lonely woman one day while at his bartending gig. The chance meeting, during which he offers her a complimentary cup of tea when she turns up in tears, spirals over many months as it’s revealed that Martha, who is played by Jessica Gunning, is a dangerous serial stalker.

The baffling phrase on the lips of every TV fan is suddenly “Baby Reindeer” — and for good reason. The Netflix limited series premiered on April 11 and quickly skyrocketed into the Top 10 in several countries, including the U.S. and U.K.
The series stars creator and writer Richard Gadd as an extension of his one-man Edinburgh Fringe show from 2016. In the TV version, Gadd plays a fictionalized version of himself named Donny Dunn, who is harassed by a female stalker for years while disentangling the ordeal from a sexual assault years prior. It evokes the transfixing storytelling and precision of “Fleabag” (another Fringe darling) and “I May Destroy You” (another complex piece processing sexual assault and subsequent self destruction). The title “Baby Reindeer” references a bizarre nickname he receives from stalker Martha (Jessica Gunning) — among many others.

Exclusive: Richard Gadd’s acclaimed new Netflix hit Baby Reindeer will compete in the Limited Series categories for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, Deadline can confirm. The seven-episode show is a lightly fictionalized account of Gadd’s own experience with a stalker, who sent him more than 40,000 emails, as well as hundreds of tweets, letters and voicemails, and has been a surprise word-of-mouth hit for the streamer since its April 11 launch.
“The success of Baby Reindeer is still quite hard to fathom having been out now for a little over a week,” says executive producer, writer, and star Richard Gadd. “Who knew this weird story about a self-sabotaging comedian getting stalked and living in the aftermath of abuse would go on to touch so many people’s lives? Inspiration, hopefully, for those in a similar quagmire to keep going.”

In 2019, Scottish comedian and writer Richard Gadd performed a one-man play called "Baby Reindeer" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning the Scotsman Fringe First Award for New Writing and a Stage Award for Acting Excellence for his performance. The success launched an award-winning run of the show, including performances in London's West End, culminating with an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre. Now, the hit play is a seven-episode miniseries on Netflix, which has had audiences buzzing since its release on April 11.

In his seven-part Netflix miniseries, “Baby Reindeer,” adapted from his one-man show, Scottish writer and comedian Richard Gadd recounts the true story of being harassed and stalked for years.

Exclusive: Generation star Nava Mau will star in Netflix’s upcoming drama series Baby Reindeer.
The streaming series is based in writer-creator Richard Gadd’s real life experience of a warped relationship that heavily impacted him and ultimately forced him to face a dark buried trauma.

She has also appeared in Waking Hour and Work.

Generation (Genera+ion) may not continue on for a sophomore season at HBO Max, but creator Zelda Barnz said the series achieved its goal within its short-lived airtime.
“I think its purpose was simply to exist, as something intimate and honest for queer people,” she wrote for Entertainment Weekly. “I’m grateful we got to make this show at all, because there was a great deal of uncertainty in even pitching a show about queer teenagers in such a specific setting.”
Just a day after HBO Max announced that it had opted not to renew the Lena Dunham-produced dramedy for a second season, Barnz penned her thoughts about the cancellation for Entertainment Weekly.

Grab your keys: HBO and HBO Max are leaning heavily into in-person drive-in events for their joint Emmy For Your Consideration campaign next month. Dubbed “HBO/HBO Max FYC Drive-In Theatre,” the pay cabler and its sister streamer will hold ten events between May 14 and May 21 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

"This was this dream of mine that I was like, 'This is never going to happen.' It just seemed like an impossible thing."
