Netflix is reportedly offering Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd a lucrative deal to continue his work with the streaming service. It has been almost three months since the release of his dark comedy on Netflix, and the seven-episode series has become one of the platform's most successful shows. Despite facing a £132 million lawsuit from Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey, who claims to be the real-life inspiration for the series' antagonist, Netflix is determined to keep Gadd on board and prevent him from being snatched up by another broadcaster.
According to sources, Netflix is currently in negotiations with Gadd to secure a contract that would allow him to produce more content for the platform. The fact that the deal could be worth seven figures shows just how much Netflix values Gadd's talent and the success of Baby Reindeer. The streaming service is eager to continue their partnership with Gadd and hopes to see more of his thought-provoking and successful shows in the future.
However, while Netflix is working on securing this deal, HBO has already announced a new show created by Gadd. Titled Lions, the drama will follow two estranged brothers over the course of 40 years and is being co-produced by the BBC. Despite this, Netflix remains determined to keep Gadd on board and is willing to do what it takes to secure his talents.
Meanwhile, Harvey's lawsuit against Netflix is still ongoing. The lawyer is demanding an astonishing $170,000,000 for her supposed depiction in Baby Reindeer and has alleged defamation, emotional distress, negligence, and violations of her right to publicity. Her lawyer, Richard Roth, has stated that there is a lot of money to be made in this legal action and believes he has a very strong case. He plans to have Gadd and Netflix executives testify in court and believes this could be a turning point for streaming television.
In response, Netflix has stated that they will defend this matter vigorously and stand by Gadd's right to tell his story. The streaming service has been in touch with Gadd and his representatives to address this lawsuit and continue their partnership. In the meantime, viewers can continue to enjoy Baby Reindeer, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
