Netflix has announced a multi-year scripted series first-look deal with Baby Reindeer star and creator Richard Gadd.
The news was announced by Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos at this year’s Royal Television Society (RTS) London Convention.
Gadd said in a statement: “I’m beyond thrilled to be continuing my creative journey with 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, Anne, Peter and all the amazing staff who work at the company.”
Baby Reindeer was among the big winners at this year’s Emmy Awards, taking home four gongs, with Gadd collecting three of the awards for writing, producing and starring in the series.
The series, said to be inspired by his real-life experiences of stalking and sexual assault, made headlines after a woman who claimed to be the inspiration behind the character Martha filed a lawsuit against Netflix and accused the story of being inaccurate.
