Another Indie Sucess by Clerkenwell Films!
Baby Reindeer is a British black comedy-drama thriller television miniseries created by and starring Richard Gadd. It is adapted from his autobiographical one-man show.[1][2] Directed by Weronika Tofilska and Josephine Bornebusch, it also stars Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, and Tom Goodman-Hill. The miniseries was released on 11 April 2024 on Netflix, where it had a strong viewership and received critical acclaim.
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.
After winning six Emmy Awards last year, "Baby Reindeer" is looking to dominate on home soil with eight nominations at the BAFTA TV and Craft Awards.
The hit Netflix series emerged top of the pack of nominees, landing nods for limited drama, leading actor for Richard Gadd, and supporting actress for both Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau.
Further down, there was a three-way tie for second place, with ITV's "Mr Bates vs The Post Office," Disney+'s Jilly Cooper adaptation "Rivals" and Apple TV+'s spy series "Slow Horses" earning six nominations each. Disney+ also earned four nominations for IRA drama "Say Nothing," as did the BBC documentary "Life and Death in Gaza."
"Baby Reindeer" stars Gadd and Gunning were among 21 of 44 performance nominees to land their first BAFTA TV award nomination. As were Jonathan Pryce ("Slow Horses"), Marisa Abela ("Industry") - both BAFTA film nominees - and Nicola Coughlan ("Big Mood").
The nominations come at a time of crisis in the U.K. TV industry, with many lamenting the issue in scripted as local broadcasters struggle to finance high-end drama, especially projects with a particularly British focus.
Indeed, the producer of "Mr Bates vs The Post Office" recently said the drama would struggle to get made in the current climate. Meanwhile, the director of "Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light" - nominated for drama series and best supporting actor for Damian Lewis - also revealed that the BBC could only finance the period drama after its lead star Mark Rylance took a "significant" pay cut.
