For several weeks, we have only been talking about him. Richard Gadd amazed and shocked the whole world with his mini-series My little reindeer inspired by his own personal story. He recounts how a woman harassed him for years and he also discusses rape and sexual assault of which he was the victim by a comedy writer who claimed to want to help him break into stand-up. Two traumatic experiences that the screenwriter and actor managed to put into form in a brilliant and disturbing way in this series for Netflix. But Richard Gadd is not only My little reindeer. In addition to writing this program – and filming since he plays Donny, the main character and therefore himself – he participated in many other projects. In 2020, he wrote episode 5 of season 2 of Sex Education. It is therefore to him that we owe these funny scenes in the forest with Otis, Eric and Remi.

Richard Gadd working on new miniseries with BBC

The British channel asked Richard Gadd to write a new six-part series. Currently titled Lions, it tells the story of two friends – almost brothers – through the years. The series would begin as one of the two, Niall, gets married and the other, Ruben, shows up at the ceremony even though the two men have not spoken in years. A reunion far from happy since it will plunge the party into intense violence, which will force viewers to analyze the scene through their past. No release date has been revealed yet.
