Russian Doll is returning to OTT with its new season sooner than you think. Lead actors Natasha Lyonne and Charlie Barnett have some interesting adventures lined up for this next instalment, taking this quirky series in a whole new direction, or rather, dimension.
Russian Doll Season 2 will include another time travel adventure for its characters as well as the audience. As per co-creator and lead star Natasha Lyonne, the new season of Russian Doll will dwell more on Nadia and Alan's past as they discover a mysterious time portal.
Lyonne mentioned in an interview that after brainstorming various ideas as to how to go about Season 2, the creators finally decided to stick with the character journey. "Rather than doing all this backwards exposition to tie together the intervening three and a half years, the idea is, whatever iteration of it it is, Alpha Nadia and Alpha Alan are here and now, being faced with the question of, now that I’m not dying, how do I start living? When you strip away the fat of a lot of this high-concept sci-fi stuff, that really is at the heart of the question from a character standpoint this year," she said.
