Will Baby Reindeer Get Another Season? Here’s What We Know

The
hit
Netflix
series

Baby
Reindeer
began
as
a
one-man
play
starring
Richard
Gadd,
in
which
he
told
his
traumatic
true
story
of
being
stalked
by
a
woman
named
Martha
(played
by
Jessica
Gunning)
when
he
was
in
his
20s.
He
performed
the
show
at
the
2019
Edinburgh
Festival
Fringe,
and
it
became
a
success.

“It’s
a
true
story,”
Gadd
told

Tudum
on
April
15.
“In
a
weird
way,
I
first
started
feeling
like
this
could
be
a
good
story
during
the
whole
ordeal
itself.
It
was
one
of
the
most
intense
periods,
when
I
was
listening
to
these
voicemails.
I’d
go
to
sleep
at
night
and
these
voicemails—her
words
would
bounce
around
my
eyelids.
I
remember
thinking,
‘God,
if
I
was
ever
to
speak
about
this
onstage,
I’d
fire
the
words
around.
Put
the
voicemails
in
a
big
cacophony
and
fire
it.’
That’s
how
the
play
was
born.”

Gadd,
who
named
his
fictionalized
character
Donny
Dunn,
worked
as
a
bartender
where
he
met
Martha
one
night
and
gave
her
a
free
cup
of
tea.

“That
one
act
of
kindness
changes
Donny’s
life
forever,
because
for
the
next
three
years,
Martha
stalks
him,”
Gunning
said.
“She
sends
him
41,000
emails
and
hundreds
of
hours
worth
of
voice
messages.
But
it’s
not
your
conventional
stalker
storyline.”

“Stalking
on
television
tends
to
be
very
sexed-up.
It
has
a
mystique.
It’s
somebody
in
a
dark
alley
way.
It’s
somebody
who’s
really
sexy,
who’s
very
normal,
but
then
they
go
strange
bit
by
bit,”
Gadd
explained.
“But
stalking
is
a
mental
illness.
I
really
wanted
to
show
the
layers
of
stalking
with
a
human
quality
I
hadn’t
seen
on
television
before.
It’s
a
stalker
story
turned
on
its
head.
It
takes
a
trope
and
turns
it
on
its
head.”

So,
will
fans
get
to
see
more
of

Baby
Reindeer
on
Netflix?
Here’s
what
we
know.

Has

Baby
Reindeer
been
renewed
for
a
season
2?

While
the
great
success
of
the
show
has
fans
calling
for
a
second
season,

Baby
Reindeer
is
a
limited
series,
meaning
it
was
created
with
the
intent
of
only
ever
having
one
season.
However,
that
doesn’t
mean
that
the
team
doesn’t
have
the
chance
to
extend
past
the
first
season.

As
of
April
2024,
Netflix
has
not
renewed

Baby
Reindeer
for
a
second
season,
and
Gadd
has
not
made
any
comments
alluding
to
the
idea.
In
March
2024,
he
told

Netflix,
“All
I
ever
wanted
to
do
was
capture
something
complicated
about
the
human
condition.
That
we
all
make
mistakes.
That
no
person
is
ever
good
or
bad.
That
we
are
all
lost
souls
looking
for
love
in
our
own
weird
way.”
