Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd Responds to Viewers Looking for Real-Life Martha and Darrien

Baby Reindeer creator and star Richard Gadd — who plays Donny Dunn in the miniseries based on his horrifying real-life experience with a stalker — has encouraged viewers to halt searching for the real-life figures from Netflix’s surprise hit.

The Baby Reindeer title reportedly came from a nickname that the stalker gave him.

Gunning stars as serial stalker with a criminal past Martha, while Goodman-Hill plays TV writer and Donny’s abuser Darrien.
