Netflix’s Russian Doll returns for a seven episode second season on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, more than three years after season one aired. Fortunately, there’s still time to binge-watch the first season in order to refresh your memory if, like me, the trailer only sort of reminds you of what happened to Nadia and Alan.
Natasha Lyonne returns to lead the cast as Nadia Vulvokov and Charlie Barnett as Alan Zaveri. Greta Lee reprises her role as Maxine and Rebecca Henderson returns as Lizzy. Chloe Sevigny plays Nora, Malachi Nimmons is Danny, and Sharlto Copley is Chez.
Series star Natasha Lyonne serves as showrunner and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning sci-fi series. Alex Buono, Amy Poehler (Paper Kite Productions), Leslye Headland, Lilly Burns (Jax Media), Tony Hernandez (Jax Media), Dave Becky (3 Arts), Kate Arend (Paper Kite Productions), Regina Corrado, and Allison Silverman also executive produce.
Russian Doll Season 2 Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
Set four years after Nadia (Lyonne) and Alan (Barnett) escaped mortality’s time loop together, season two of RUSSIAN DOLL will continue to explore existential thematics through an often humorous and sci-fi lens. Discovering a fate even worse than endless death, this season finds Nadia and Alan delving deeper into their pasts through an unexpected time portal located in one of Manhattan’s most notorious locations, the New York City subway.
At first they experience this as an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure, but they soon discover this extraordinary event might be more than they bargained for and, together, must search for a way out.
