In an exclusive interview, Jessica Dunning, who plays the complex character of Martha in the hit Netflix series ‘Donny’, shares her insights on the show’s success, her emotional preparation for the role, and the profound impact the series has had on male survivors of sexual assault.
Richard Gadd has addressed fan speculation on social media regarding the real identities of Martha and Darrien, characters inspired by his personal experience of stalking and sexual abuse. He urged viewers to refrain from speculation, emphasizing that the show’s focus lies on the experience rather than identifying real-life counterparts.
In episode 5 of ‘Baby Reindeer,’ a scene suggests that Donny might have slept with Martha. However, it is later revealed that this encounter is solely in Donny’s mind.
