After Richard Gadd’s critically acclaimed series, Baby Reindeer, won six awards at the 2024 Emmys, Netflix has announced a new partnership with the producer, writer, and actor to “create more groundbreaking scripted television.”
Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed the news today at the Royal Television Society (RTS) London Convention, confirming an expanded relationship with a multiyear scripted series first-look deal with Netflix.
“I’m beyond thrilled to be continuing my creative journey with Netflix,” Gadd told Netflix. “They took a chance on me when I wasn’t proven in the television space; for that I will always be grateful. I look forward to the years ahead with Netflix, ideas with Ted, Bela [Bajaria], Anne [Mensah], Peter [Friedlander], and all the amazing staff who work at the company.”
Baby Reindeer spent eight weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV list (English) after its release, and reached the Top 10 TV list in 92 countries. The series had 88.4 million views after 91 days, and won six Emmy Awards in the Limited or Anthology Series categories (including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Gadd, Outstanding Supporting Actress for Gunning, plus awards for writing, casting, and picture editing).
