Russian Doll season 2 release date, official trailer, cast, synopsis, and more

The Emmy-nominated series Russian Doll is a huge fan favorite with subscribers, and many of them are wondering when Russian Doll season 2 will arrive on Netflix.

The well-crafted Netflix original series stars Natasha Lyonne, who also serves as one of the talented creators, along with Amy Poehler and Leslye Headland. The Netflix original series has earned a very well-deserved Rotten Tomatoes score and several Emmy nominations leaving the anticipation for the next run of Russian Doll at an all-time high.

Russian Doll follows Lyonne’s character Nadia, a video game developer who repeatedly dies and is forced to relive the same night over and over again in a time loop, similar to that of Edge of Tomorrow or Groundhog Day. In her attempts to solve this puzzling dilemma, she encounters another individual with the same issues.

As far as a second season goes, Variety reported in June 2019 that Netflix had renewed the comedy-drama for another set of episodes. Now, two years after its debut, we finally have a release date for season 2 as well as an official trailer.

Russian Doll season 2 synopsis

Netflix just shared the official synopsis for Russian Doll season 2, which you can read below. Looks like we’ll be getting a time jump!

"Set four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie 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. 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."

On April 7, a Thursday (what a concept!), Netflix released the official trailer for Russian Doll season 2. In the exciting new clip, Nadia’s back to her time traveling ways, though she’s now referring to herself as a “time prisoner” in her latest time-bending adventure.
