Before “Baby Reindeer” became a Netflix hit, it was a one-man stage show performed by Richard Gadd, which he debuted at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival to rave reviews. While he appeared in the movie “Against the Law” — a drama about an illegal same-sex relationship in 1952 — and on the TV series “Clique” — a story about the dark side of student life — beforehand, “Baby Reindeer” gave the writer, actor, and comedian a bona fide, critically acclaimed hit that opened more doors for him. This led to Gadd appearing on an episode of “Outlander” in 2020, followed by a recurring role on Peacock’s “Code 404” — an action-comedy series led by “The Irishman” star Stephen Graham.
Gadd’s next project is called “Lions,” which he’s developing for the BBC. While speaking to The Guardian, the creator shared some details about the show, saying, “[‘Lions’] is about two brothers, and explores the themes of masculinity, growing up.” It remains to be seen when “Lions” will arrive on our screens, but hopefully, it won’t be inspired by actual events as messed up as those depicted on “Baby Reindeer.”
