Streaming service Netflix is bringing the all-new season of Russian Doll. It is an American comedy-drama television series and premiered on Netflix on February 1, 2019. In June the program was officially renewed for a second season.

The show is developed by Natasha Lyonne, Leslye Headland, and Amy Poehler, who is also the executive producer with Dave Becky, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Allison Silverman.

So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who is playing the lead role? Continue reading to know further details.

Russian Doll Season 2 Release Date

The makers of Russian Doll have not Confirmed an official release date for Season 3. However, we can expect it to release sometime towards the end of 2022 or the first half of 2023.

Russian Doll Season 2 Plot and Cast

Russian Doll will be set four years after Nadia’s 36th birthday party in the first season, which saw Nadia die repeatedly while trying to escape a time loop.

However, Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) won’t be in for an easier ride in season 2, with the pair set to face a fate even worse than endless death. The new season will see the pair discover a time portal in New York that will force them to confront their past as they battle to find a way out.

The official plot synopsis reads: “Set four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) escaped mortality’s time loop together, season 2 of Russian Doll will continue to explore existential thematics through an often humorous and sci-fi lens.”

The lead cast of the series Natasha Lyonne will reprise the role of Nadia Vulvokov in the new episodes – hardly surprising given she earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her performance the first time around.

Fellow time-loop sufferer Alan, played by Chicago Fire’s , is also set to return, along with Nadia’s friends Maxine (Greta Lee) and Lizzy (Rebecca Henderson).

However, it’s yet to be confirmed whether we could see more from Nadia’s troubled mother, Lenora (Chloë Sevigny), or her dearly beloved family friend and guardian Ruth Brenner (Elizabeth Ashley).

However, we do know that Schitt’s Creek star Annie Murphy has joined the cast for season 2, although her role is being kept under wraps for the time being, while Carolyn Michelle Smith (House of Cards) will also have a recurring role.

And that news was followed by an announcement in April 2021 that revealed South African star Sharlto Copley (District 9) would also feature in the second run – with his role similarly unclear at this stage.
