Russian Doll

Natasha Lyonne ('Orange Is the New Black') stars in this series that she co-produces with Leslye Headland and Amy Poehler, and writes alongside Headland; a female dream team that bets on dark humor while playing with the fine line that separates comedy from drama in an impossible situation: the constant death and rebirth of Nadia.

'Russian Doll' was produced by Universal Television and Lionsgate Television for Netflix and premiered in February 2019. With a total of two seasons and 16 episodes, it received multiple nominations and awards, including an Emmy for directing and recognition for Lyonne's performance, marking it as one of the most innovative series on the platform.

In addition to Natasha Lyonne, the main cast includes Greta Lee, Elizabeth Ashley, Yul Vazquez, and Charlie Barnett, who bring to life characters that accompany and challenge Nadia in her repetitive and chaotic journey. The chemistry between the actors and the development of the supporting characters enhance the emotional and comedic impact of the story, making each episode combine existential tension with moments of laughter.

This young woman suddenly finds herself in an endless loop centered around her birthday party, an event where she cannot stop dying, over and over again, only to be reborn. Russian Doll starts with eight episodes led by Lyonne alongside Greta Lee, Elizabeth Ashley, Yul Vazquez, and Charlie Barnett.

The series has been praised for its ability to combine philosophical reflection, dark comedy, and innovative storytelling, leaving a lasting mark on modern television and establishing Lyonne as one of the most unique creators and stars in the current landscape.
