Get ready to celebrate 4/20 with the second season of Russian Doll
Netflix announced the premiere date and dropped the first teaser for the hit series' second season
Aux News Unknown
Netflix gave us a TV show featuring someone puking cats last year with Brand New Cherry Flavor, so it was about time for an extra dose of weirdness with the return of Russian Doll. The streamer gave us the first look at the show’s return in back in February, and now it has finally shared the release date for the second season: April 20.
4/20 is the perfect date to watch the trippy show. While thankfully Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) aren’t stuck in the death loop anymore, their lives are certainly nowhere near normal and there’s probably a lot more weirdness to come.
The freaky 33-second teaser shows a disoriented Nadia riding the train. The clip combines hazy shots of her falling down the stairs, walking into a cemetery, and floating in a black void. We don’t get to see much of Alan, except for an unsettling shot of him lying underwater in the bathtub before he comes up with a wide, creepy grin.
There’s also a glimpse at Chloë Sevigny’s return as Nadia’s mother, Lenora. She’ll have a bigger importance in the story this time around.
After three years, it seems Nadia has seen it all and has apparently adjusted to the absurdity of everything. At the end of the teaser, she raises her glass at a bar, saying, “When the universe fucks with you, let it!”
According to the official logline, this new season is set four years after Nadia and Alan stopped dying every day, but it also has them “discovering a fate even worse than endless death.” It continues, “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.”

I am so excited for this. The first season was such a trippy rush but damn if I didn’t really want to see both of them make it out.
Well, okay, I don’t know what the hell is going on here, but I’m still in. Adding Annie Murphy to the mix can only be a good thing even if I don’t understand what her role is, either
Yeah, season 1 was solid enough that I’ll be on board for this no matter what they choose to do with it. They could announce that S2 is a Cop Rock reboot and I’d still be in.
WHAT?! One of the best shows of the past few years now has Annie Murphy in it, too? I just get more and more excited for this season 2 that I had no idea was even going to be a thing.
I read a recent interview with Annie Murphy & she said filming this season fulfilled her lifelong dream of being a NYC actress (she had always worked in LA or Toronto before). So I am happy for her! And also for us
Can’t wait to see the doll invade Ukraine.
I hear their name’s gonna be changed to ‘Freedom Dolls’ real soon.
She’s going to de-nazify Hulu!
Only after watching the whole season did I realize the title “Russian Doll” applied to Nadia herself
Dave’s not here, man.
Basketball Jones.
As much as I loved the first season, I genuinely can’t think of a show that needed a second season less. I truly have absolutely no idea where this could be going.

Like you had any idea about the first season either.
Good to know I have another month and change to figure out why everybody loved season 1 so goddamn much. :insert shrug emoji here:
I didn’t get to it for a while. Thankfully I managed to miss any spoilers. Going in with no idea what to expect was definitely the way for me to watch. This time I will make sure to not wait so long, and go in cold.
