With less than a month until Russian Doll returns for its second season, Netflix has released a new trailer for the Emmy Award-winning comedy-drama.
After escaping the time loop in season one, Nadia Vulvokov (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan Zaveri (Charlie Barnett) find themselves in a time-travel predicament after riding a subway train that sends them to a variety of times and locations, including 1980s New York.
Aside from this new loop, it appears that Nadia and Alan will be on the lookout for a famous trove of riches that has suddenly gone from time and space. Jinkies!
Lyonne and Leslye Headland executive produce Russian Doll, with Lyonne taking over as showrunner this season.

On April 20, the second season of Russian Doll will release on Netflix.
If you missed Netflix’s Russian Doll’s first season, you lost out on a brilliantly dark and occasionally heartbreaking comedy about a woman called Nadia who realizes she’s trapped in a time loop in which she keeps dying and then returning to the night of her birthday party.
I strongly advise you to watch the Natasha Lyonne-starring series during the next two weeks because the second season is on the way, and if this debut trailer is any indicator, it will make the first season appear comparably normal.
That’s astounding since Nadia’s fate was related to a stranger called Alan (Charlie Barnett) in season one, who was continually reliving the day he tried to propose to his fiancée only to learn she was having an affair.
“Time prisoner” is an apt description. If the train full of troops is any clue, Nadia is not only blasted back through numerous eras of the past but maybe into space as well. Plus, it appears that she can’t die, which is certainly for the best if she needs to restore time, but what about the gold? The official summary for the season isn’t especially enlightening:
Season two of Russian Doll will continue to examine existential themes via an often hilarious and sci-fi lens, four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) fled mortality’s time loop together.
This season finds Nadia and Alan diving further into their pasts through an unforeseen time vortex hidden in one of the show’s locations, discovering a destiny far terrible than perpetual death.
They first see this as an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure, but they quickly realize that this amazing occurrence may be more than they bargained for, and they must work together to find a way out.”
