Netflix’s Buzzworthy ‘Baby Reindeer’ Enters Emmys 2024 Limited Series Race

Adwoa Aboah is going to be a mom!

Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha is considering legal action over the show in which she is portrayed as a terrifying stalker.

EXCLUSIVE: Richard Gadd, the creator and star of hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer, has faced questions about his professional conduct after dating a transgender actress who intended to audition for his show.

spawned a new real-life drama.“Baby Reindeer,” Netflix’s most-watched series of the past two weeks, stars Scottish actor Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn — a struggling comedian and bartender who becomes the object of a woman’s obsession after he serves her a cup of tea.Adapted from Gadd’s 2019 one-man stage show, the seven-episode series has become a global juggernaut, with viewers multiplying faster than a Mogwai fed after midnight. Within the first few minutes of meeting Donny’s stalker, Martha, it’s obvious that viewers have stepped onto a wild, complex and confusing ride. Zaftig and disheveled, Martha is also clever and cheerful.

If some of the Drama and Comedy series acting categories are scrounging for legitimate nominees, the Limited Series and TV movie fields are effectively a bloodbath in comparison. At this point, there are just three actors likely to make the five and only five nominating field: Jodie Foster (“True Detective: Night Country”), Juno Temple (“Fargo”), and Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”).

Congratulations to Jon Hamm and Andrew Scott. You are more than likely earning Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Emmy nominations for “Fargo” season five and “Ripley,” respectively.

If there is any Emmy field that is utterly wide open it’s Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Despite the decline of Peak TV, there should be enough submissions for six nominees as was the case the past four years.

The 2024 Emmy category for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series is so wide open that not only is picking the nominees a crapshoot, but we’re not even sure there is a legitimate frontrunner yet to win it (or ever will be). The reason is a rare one in Emmy land, it appears none of 2023’s nominees are eligible this go around.

Some categories are competitive this Emmy season and some categories are not. Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series certainly qualifies as the latter.

Is it possible we have a snub or even two in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category? The Ladies may be searching high and low for two nominees to round out the field, but the gentlemen face a somewhat more competitive race. And that’s a big emphasis on “somewhat.” One thing is for sure, last year’s winner, Jeremy Allen White, will absolutely be nominated again and is once again the frontrunner for his performance in season two of “The Bear.” Comedy legend Martin Short should also earn his third nod for “Only Murders in the Building.” Beyond those two actors, however, things may or may not get interesting.

Baby Reindeer stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning reunited on the red carpet at a movie premiere – after the 'real-life Martha' hit back. Richard and Jessica have garnered international fame after series Baby Reindeer – based on true events in Richard's life – became a smash hit on Netflix, watched by millions around the world.
