How many episodes does Baby Reindeer have on Netflix?
Baby Reindeer is a 7-episode Netflix miniseries released in 2024. Richard Gadd created it and plays Donny Dunn, a struggling comedian whose life is disrupted by Martha's stalking.
Is Baby Reindeer based on Richard Gadd's stage show?

Who plays Martha in Baby Reindeer?
Jessica Gunning plays Martha, the woman who begins obsessively contacting Donny after he offers her a cup of tea. The series turns that first small encounter into a long psychological spiral rather than a simple thriller setup.

The series also follows Donny's abuse history and his relationship with Teri, played by Nava Mau. That structure makes the Netflix show partly about how unresolved trauma changes the way Donny responds to danger.
