Nadia's 40th birthday is a few days away, and she's
... More planning to celebrate it quietly with Alan. Then something really strange happens.LessNatasha Lyonne returns to the Emmy-nominated, time-warping Netflix comedy series. Set four years after Nadia (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.
