Star Wars, what a concept! A new series set in a galaxy far, far away is coming to Disney+, Variety reports, and Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland is attached as writer and showrunner. No plot details quite yet, but the report notes that the series will be female-centric and take place in a different corner of the Star Wars universe than the streaming service's other projects. The still-untitled show will join Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's highly-successful The Mandalorian—which just wrapped season 2 and already has a season 3 in the works—as …

Russian Doll is a unique and quirky blend of drama and dark comedy. Here's what we'd love to see in its second season and a few things we don't want.

While fans are clearly elated that Russian Doll Season 2 has officially been ordered by Netflix, it appears we could be just as easily nearing the end of the series, as Russian Doll Season 3 is being planned as the endpoint. The wholly original character-focused sci-fi series was created by Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland and kind of came out of nowhere when its eight-episode first season premiered on Netflix this past February. Broadly described as a twist on the premise of Groundhog Day, the series finds Lyonne playing a woman who keeps dying, only …

The Television Critics Association has announced the full list of the 2019 TCA Awards nominees, and the results are one heck of a reminder of how exceptional TV has been over the last year. Each year, the TCA polls its members for the best performances, series, and achievements across the board in television, from cable to streaming, non-fiction, news, sketch comedy, and everything in between. This year, Netflix's Russian Doll and FX's Pose share the lead with four nominations a piece, followed by Amazon's Fleabag with three. Pose is up for Best Achievement in Drama, alongside …

In today’s oversaturated television landscape, it’s increasingly difficult for any one show to stand out, let alone remain in the public consciousness months after its aired. But Netflix’s Russian Doll was one such series for a variety of reasons. The story is wholly unique, the storytelling is fresh and inventive, the performances—especially from lead actress/executive producer/co-creator Natasha Lyonne—are tremendously layered, and the visual language of the series is striking and memorable. None of this was easy given the plot at hand: a somewhat aimless woman keeps dying, only to wake up on …

Season 2, what a concept! Variety reports that Netflix has renewed Russian Doll for at least one more loop. The first season of the streaming comedy, co-created by Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland, followed a New Yorker (Lyonne) stuck repeating the same night of her life, the events rewinding every time she dies. This is a bit of double-sided news. One one hand, Russian Doll's first season was an inventive, electric bit of storytelling, easily already among the best on TV in 2019. In her glowing 5/5 review, Collider's Haleigh Foutch called the …

Russian Doll is a quirky comedy-drama starring and co-created by Natasha Lyonne. It follows the journey of Nadia, who is celebrating her 36th birthday at a party in New York when she gets caught in a time loop. While the premise has echos of Groundhog Day, this Netflix Original Series is far less wholesome than the Bill Murray comedy. Nadia is a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed protagonist who has a lot of opinions and isn’t afraid to voice them. The show is equal parts thought-provoking, engaging, and amusing. Here are 10 of the best Nadia Vulvokov quotes that will make you laugh over and over. They contain profanity, obviously.

Russian Doll ends up being a lot more than the sum of its deaths. If you haven't watched it yet, I can only advise you to do so. It's an easy 8 episodes of clever writing and increasing tension and intrigue that deserves all the praise it's getting. On the surface, however, it's a Groundhog Day/Edge Of Tomorrow recurring day/death cycle that finds humor in creative corpse-making conclusions. That's what I'm here to do now, recount the many and varied ways that death interjects in this interesting little tale.

Reviews are in, Russian Doll is the next big thing on Netflix. However, the Amy Poehler-produced show about a woman who keeps reliving her own death is only a couple episodes long. If you're like us, that means you probably already finished it and are in the mood for more. Well, you came to the right place. Don't get off the couch just yet, you'll find plenty of Russian Doll-like recommendations in our list of 10 quirky shows similar to Russian Doll.

Netflix's next great binge-worthy show has arrived, and it's a brash, bracing headfuck with just the right amount of heart. Russian Doll, the propulsive new series from Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland, is a brilliant tale of morality and mortality that finds an expert balance between sincerity, cutting comedy, and wild genre flourish. In the first episode, we meet Nadia (Lyonne); an acerbic, chain-smoking software designer in rockstar duds, staring herself down in the bathroom mirror at her 36th birthday party. Outside the walls of the wildly designed bathroom (including a "terrifying" door that …
