When nominations for the 2024 Emmys were announced, Richard Gadd was intentionally riding the tube in London. The creator and star of the streaming phenomenon Baby Reindeer shared his approach to handling the news, emphasizing the importance of not investing too much emotional weight in outcomes. Gadd's caution proved unnecessary as the show received 11 nominations, including best limited or anthology series, best writing, and best actor for Gadd himself.
Baby Reindeer, currently Netflix's 10th most-watched English-language series with over 85 million views since its April 11 release, delves into Gadd's character, Donny, based on his real-life experiences. The show explores themes of fame and obsession, drawing viewers into a gripping thriller centered around Donny's pursuit of recognition.
