Baby Reindeer
Baby Reindeer is a British black comedy, drama and thriller television miniseries created by and starring Richard Gadd. It is adapted from his autobiographical one-man show. Directed by Weronika Tofilska and Josephine Bornebusch, it also stars Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau and Tom Goodman-Hill. It was released on 11 April 2024 on Netflix, where it had a strong viewership and was critically acclaimed.
Baby Reindeer won six Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Writing for Gadd, Outstanding Lead Actor for Gadd, and Outstanding Supporting Actress for Gunning. It also won two Golden Globe Awards: Best Limited or Anthology Series and Best Supporting Actress for Gunning.
An aspiring comedian named Donny Dunn works as a bartender at a pub in London. He offers a free cup of tea to a weeping customer, Martha, to cheer her up. Martha develops an attachment to Donny and begins to stalk him both in person and online. As Donny attempts to further his career in comedy, the stalking begins to affect every aspect of his life, forcing him to understand his own behaviour, confront his sexuality, and come to terms with the trauma of a past sexual assault. As he attempts to escape Martha's stalking, the mix of fear, sympathy and revulsion he feels for his stalker threatens to ruin his life.
All seven episodes were released simultaneously on Netflix on 11 April 2024.
The series was announced in December 2020, with Richard Gadd set to write the series and star. Clerkenwell Films was set to produce. Weronika Tofilska was added as the director in August 2022, with Josephine Bornebusch announced as an additional director in March 2023. Gadd was cast alongside the series announcement. Jessica Gunning was cast on 26 August 2022. Nava Mau was announced as a cast member in March 2023.
Filming began in mid-August 2022 in the Grassmarket in Edinburgh, and continued in London in September.
Among the filming locations in London were the Stag's Head pub in Hoxton, which was used for exterior scenes at the Heart pub, the Regent's Canal in Haggerston, and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Donny's stand-up comedy shows were filmed at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, the Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley and The Comedy Store in Leicester Square. Darrien's flat was filmed inside Marsham Court in Victoria, London. In Edinburgh the Hoppy pub in Meadowbank served as the exterior of the Festival Fringe venue for Donny's comedy show (interior scenes were filmed in the Army & Navy pub in Stoke Newington, London). Other exterior locations are the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket, where Donny is shown walking along the street amid festival activities.
Filming wrapped by early March 2023.
