‘Russian Doll’ travels back to ’80s in season 2 trailer

‘The Russian Doll’ season two trailer, which dropped on Thursday, is filling in some of the blanks around what Natasha Lyonne has in store for her Emmy-winning Netflix series’ return, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

After trapping Lyonne’s starring character, Nadia, and her pal Alan (Charlie Barnett) in a mortality time loop in the celebrated first season of the existential sci-fi comedy, Russian Doll is heading back to the 1980s — via New York City subway — for season two to take care of some unfinished business.

This time, as Nadia notes in the footage, the universe appears to have found “something worse than death” for the pair, who, when last seen in the 2019 finale, successfully broke the loop of dying and coming back to life by finding each other and forming a true connection.

The description from Netflix sets the second season four years after the events of the first and says Nadia and Alan will be “delving deeper into their pasts” through the unexpected subway time portal for an “ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure.” Once again, they will find themselves searching for a way out.

The ensemble also includes Greta Lee, Chloë Sevigny, Elizabeth Ashley, Brendan Sexton III and Rebecca Henderson, with Annie Murphy, Sharlto Copley and Irén Bordan in new roles.
