OSD Alumni Richard Gadd’s Incredible 11 Emmy Nominations

OSD Alumni Richard Gadd in Baby Reindeer

OSD Alumni Richard Gadd has seen his show, Baby Reindeer, awarded with an incredible 11 Emmy nominations this week.

Earlier this year, we wrote about Baby Reindeer’s incredible journey from the Edinburgh Fringe to the top of Netflix’s most-watched list. It was clear to all of us here at OSD that the show was an amazing creative achievement. From acting to music, the show has a clarity of vision and excellence in execution that is rare to find in the busy world of streaming. It’s a huge achievement for the show to receive this number of nominations, and entirely deserved.

Among the 11 nominations, Richard has been nominated for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series. The show, for which Richard served as Creator, Executive Producer, Writer, and Actor, has also been nominated in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology series category.

Richard’s phenomenal co-stars have also been recognised for their work on the show. Among them are Jessica Gunning, who plays the vulnerable yet menacing Martha, and the history-making Nava Mau, who has become the first Latina trans woman to be nominated for an Emmy for her delicately nuanced portrayal of Teri.

The Baby Reindeer team has been recognised by more than just the Emmys. Earlier this month, it won Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries, and Specials at the Television Critics Association Awards. In June, it also won the Breakthrough Limited Series at the Gotham TV Awards. The team also has an impressive 7 nominations at the forthcoming Astra TV Awards in August. 

We are over the moon for Richard and the entire team behind Baby Reindeer. The Emmys take place on the 7th, 8th, and 15th of September; we’ll all be watching with our fingers crossed. Congratulations Richard!
