'Baby Reindeer' stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning chatted about the Netflix series' overnight success during a June 6 appearance on 'Today'

“I got a great deal of healing from exploring, from writing stuff down, from putting out on the stage for people to feed back to. It led to such a huge catharsis and a huge self-acceptance that I just kept doing it,” he told Hoda Kotb and guest cohost Heather McMahan of sharing his story. “When Netflix came to me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to make this into a TV show?’ I thought, ‘Well, maybe that leads to a bigger catharsis on an even bigger scale.
Gunning, for her part, said she “really empathize” with the character of Martha during the audition process. “I just kept thinking, ‘If somebody got it and played her like a villain or played her crazy, it would be a real shame,’” she shared.
