Baby Reindeer is a British black comedy-drama thriller television miniseries created by and starring Richard Gadd.

[1][2] Directed by Weronika Tofilska and Josephine Bornebusch, it also stars Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, and Tom Goodman-Hill.

It also won two Golden Globe Awards: Best Limited or Anthology Series and Best Supporting Actress for Gunning.

Years earlier, Donny is being mentored by TV writer Darrien O'Connor, who supplies him with drugs.

[3] Donny is horrified to realise Martha has begun harassing his parents and has accused his father of being a paedophile, getting him in trouble at work.

At the competition, Donny gives up on his act after a joke does not land and instead breaks down on stage, confessing to the audience in frank detail his guilt, shame, and self-hatred after his rape, stalking, and his poor management of his relationship with Teri, before walking out of the theatre.

Other exterior locations are the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket, where Donny is shown walking along the street amid festival activities.

The website's consensus reads: "A bracing work of autofiction by creator and star Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer can be a punishing watch but richly rewards viewers with its emotional complexity and excellent performances.

[16] Baby Reindeer debuted at number five on Netflix's Top 10 TV English titles for the tracking week of 8–14 April 2024, with 10.4 million hours viewed.

[40] On 9 May 2024, in an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, 59-year-old Fiona Muir-Harvey, a Scottish woman with a law degree, claimed to have inspired the Martha character.

[42] Earlier tweets from an account linked to Muir-Harvey resulted in increased fan connections between her and the Martha character.

[43] These included a reference to hanging curtains, a sexually suggestive phrase that was later used in the script of Baby Reindeer.

[44] During her Uncensored interview, Harvey said that she had met Gadd several times at The Hawley Arms, Camden, but denied sending him 41,000 emails or going to his home, as was stated of her erstwhile character on the show.
