The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards saw a significant win for Netflix's gripping stalker drama ' Baby Reindeer ', which captured four Emmys on Sunday night. The series, a powerful adaptation of Richard Gadd 's stage play and real-life experiences, secured victories in several key categories. 'Baby Reindeer' clinched the prestigious award for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, marking a major achievement for the show.
Gadd, who not only stars in but also created the series, was honoured with Emmys for both Best Actor and Best Writer. Accepting his award, he said, “no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better.” His portrayal of an aspiring comedian tormented by a relentless stalker has been widely praised for its intensity and depth.
While taking the stage for the third time as “Baby Reindeer” won the top prize, creator and star Gadd noted that the industry has been in an economic “slump” — but that there’s a way out. “I do believe no slump was ever broken without a willingness to take risks,” he said. “I think if ‘Baby Reindeer’ has proved anything, it’s that there’s no set formula to this.
That you don’t need big stars, proven IP, long-running series, catch-all storytelling to have a hit.” Jessica Gunning also received accolades, winning Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role in the series. The evening was particularly special for Gunning, as it marked her first Emmy win.
The show's success didn't stop there; it also earned awards for Casting and Editing at the Creative Arts Emmys held the previous week. In addition to the wins, 'Baby Reindeer' received nominations for several other categories, including Supporting Actress for Nava Mau and Supporting Actor for Tom Goodman-Hill. Both Mau and Goodman-Hill, along with Gunning, received their first-ever Emmy nods this year.
Weronika Tofilska was recognised for her direction, though she did not win in that category. “Baby Reindeer” is based on a one man-stage show in which Gadd describes being sexually abused along with other emotional struggles. The show, which premiered in the UK and quickly climbed Netflix's charts to become the top series there, also secured a spot at No.
