Richard Gadd on the Success of Baby Reindeer
Accepting his award, Gadd reflected on why the series has resonated so deeply with audiences worldwide:
“That phrase has become the soundtrack of my life this year,” she said, overwhelmed with emotion.
She thanked Richard Gadd, adding:
“Baby Reindeer has changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain. I can’t believe this is happening to me and I know that eight-year-old me wouldn’t either, she’d be chuffed to bits.”
Other Big Wins at the 2025 Golden Globes
- Colin Farrell won his third Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Miniseries for his role as The Penguin in HBO’s upcoming Batman spin-off series.

With its dark themes, gripping performances, and critical acclaim, the series has proven that audiences are hungry for complex, thought-provoking narratives—a sentiment echoed by Gadd’s powerful speech.
