Russian Doll is a story of a young woman who’s on a journey to be the guest of honor at a party in New York. However, she gets caught in a loop where she repeatedly attends the same event and dies at the end of the night each time. But when she wakes the next day unharmed as if nothing had happened.
With an IMDb rating of 7.9/10 and the Tomatometer at 97%, the show has been a smash hit. And after the first season, the fans are desperately waiting for the second season.
Season 2: Release Date
It has been a year since the first season released in February 2019. Owing to its huge success and popularity, Netflix immediately renewed the show for a second season. As Netflix operates in yearly cycles, the new season is expected to arrive mid-2020. However, in the wake of the chaos caused by the pandemic, it can be pushed ahead to late 2020.
What To Expect From The Second?
Nadia, a young woman, is on her way to be the guest of honor at a party in New York City. However, she gets caught in a loop in which she repeatedly attends the same event and dies at the end of the night each time. But she wakes up unharmed as if nothing has happened.
Later, Nadia meets Alan, who has already committed suicide and is reliving the night again. They soon realize that they have been stuck inside a video game and must fix their broken aspects. They later wake up in separate realities having no recollection of their shared experience. Thus, Alan and Nadia use their new-found knowledge of one another and set out to save each other’s lives. This is where the first season ended. Season 2 is likely to pick from here and dive deeper into their journey.
