“Baby Reindeer” breakout star Jessica Gunning could never have predicted the impact the British drama series would have, but she’s certain it’s making a difference for future stories and those who see themselves in the characters.
“It’s incredible to have such a universal reaction,” she tells PvNew. “It shows that audiences are hungry for messy stories that aren’t black and white or neatly tied up with a happy ending. It’s more complicated than that, and people are ready to watch and handle it.”
The Netflix limited series has surged into the spotlight, capturing significant attention and cultural impact. Gunning has emerged as a potential frontrunner in the Emmy race for her stunning portrayal of the enigmatic stalker, Martha Scott.
