Russian Doll stars Natasha Lyonne as Nadia Vulvokov, a New York City software engineer that mysteriously finds herself reliving her 36th birthday party over and over again. Nadia becomes trapped in a time loop as she dies in different ways at the party but always returns to the festivities at the same moment, leading her to track down why she’s caught up in time. The series landed four Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Lyonne’s performance. While the extended hiatus between seasons seemed to be part of the plan, it wasn’t expected that Russian Doll would be off the air for nearly three years before season 2.
