Created by Gadd, Baby Reindeer won 6 Emmy Awards at the recent celebration of the 11 they were nominated for including Outstanding Limited Series, Outstanding Lead Actor & Outstanding Writing for Gadd, and Gunning’s for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

Richard Gadd, the creator of the hit Netflix limited series “Baby Reindeer,” based on real events from the comedian’s life, became a surprise sensation at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards despite the $170 million defamation lawsuit the show is currently facing.

“Baby Reindeer” got three other nods at the Primetime Emmys: Nava Mau was nominated for supporting actress alongside Gunning, while Tom Goodman-Hill was nominated for supporting actor and Weronika Tofilska was nominated for directing. All, including Gadd and Gunning, were first-time nominees.
