Baby Reindeer star Nava Mau joins major Netflix series

Nava Mau has been cast in You. 

According to Deadlinethe star will appear in the fifth and final season of Netflix’s psychological thriller as Detective Marquez, meaning she’ll inevitably cross paths with Penn Badgley’s delusional and obsessive serial killer Joe Goldberg.

In 2021, Mau starred as Ana in the first season of HBO Max’s queer dramedy Generation, which was cancelled after one season.

Earlier this year, she found mainstream success in Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd’s lauded black comedy thriller in which he recounts his experience of being stalked and sexually assaulted by a mentally ill, middle-aged woman by the name of ‘Martha’.

As Teri, the therapist and love interest of Gadd’s character Donny, Mau made history as the first trans actress to be nominated for ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie’ at the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Mau later told Deadline that she cried for 45 minutes with “overwhelming joy” over the nomination, highlighting how trans actors “don’t get a lot of opportunities to develop our craft, grow as artists, and to be recognized for all that we are and all that we can be”.

“It has been a priceless experience being a part of this show. Every step of the way, I could feel the way the experience was transforming me, my life, and what feels possible,” she explained.

“To be recognized by my peers in the Academy is a celebration of that transformation.”

Baby Reindeer is now streaming on Netflix (read our interview with Mau and Gadd here), while a release date for the fifth and final season of You has yet to be announced.
