Future of Baby Reindeer ‘confirmed’ as fans demand second series of global smash
NETFLIX hit Baby Reindeer is done and dusted.
Insiders have revealed that writer Richard Gadd, 35, will be moving away from the series, which tells his real-life stalking experience, after completing his press tour across the pond last week.
He and the cast flew to Los Angeles as the real life Martha, Fiona Harvey – portrayed by actress Jessica Gunning, 38, in the series – told her side of the story to Piers Morgan.
But despite fan speculation that Fiona’s side of the story could lead to a second series of the show, it’s been ruled out by those working closely with star Richard.
A source explained: “There are no plans to bring Baby Reindeer back for more, or for Richard to address Fiona’s interview in any follow up.
“He’s shared his story and there’s nothing more to add to what was included in the series already.
“Richard is busy working on new projects – this time not based on his own life.”
The actor has already announced a new project for the BBC, Lions – which will tell the story of two estranged friends who find themselves back together after a chaotic wedding.
Richard said of the show earlier this year: “It’s time to take on a new challenge, I’m well up for it.
“It won’t be autobiographical like the previous eight years on Baby Reindeer have been.”
