Will there be a ‘Baby Reindeer’ season two?

Baby Reindeer has become the latest viral hit series on Netflix, but will there be a second season of the show? The show has been created by comedian Richard Gadd, and it is based on his 2019 one-man play of the same name.

It depicts a version of the real-life story of his own stalking ordeal. The show focuses on struggling comedian Donny Dunn’s (Gadd) strange and layered relationship with a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning), whose initially friendly demeanour unravels as she begins to stalk Donny relentlessly.

Since its success, Gadd has been publicly reflecting on the portrayal of the Martha character. He said that he intended to make her somewhat sympathetic, stating: “Stalking usually is depicted as someone who is kind of evil, whereas I felt like there was a vulnerable person who genuinely couldn’t stop, who for whatever reason had believed the reality that was inside her head and no matter what couldn’t change from that.” “I mean, it is a mental illness and I wanted to portray that.

I did see someone who I felt sorry for.” He has also pleaded with viewers to stop speculating about the possible real-life identities of Martha and the other characters in the show. “Hi everyone, people I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” Gadd wrote. “Please don’t speculate on who any of the real life people could be.
