Despite the lack of official word from Netflix, a third season of the highly praised drama Russian Doll is still possible. Lyonne, who also stars in the show and helped create it, told The Hollywood Reporter(opens in new tab) in 2019 that she wasn’t sure whether the show’s beginning, middle, and conclusion were still the same. “It could only last for two seasons. A possible explanation is four distinct seasons. Those three seem to be the most likely candidates at the moment.”
We’ve put together all the information Lyonne has given us concerning Nadia and Alan’s likely return, as well as our own hypotheses and predictions about what the future holds for them. Warning: big Season 2 spoilers lie ahead. In short, we’ve got all you need to know about a possible Russian Doll season 3.
If You Like Russian Doll, Do You Think You’d Want to See It Renewed for a Third Season?
The truth is unknown to us. In terms of story, Russian Doll Season 1 might have been a complete, self-contained limited series. However, a second season was announced, and it ended up being really good. Why not? The programme has a lot going for it, including a captivating tale and themes that encourage us to reflect on some of the same issues that Nadia is. Season 2 once again concludes in a completely self-contained manner, so even if there isn’t a Season 3, we can rest certain that our main characters, Nadia, Alan, Maxine, and Lizzy, are in a fantastic spot. We want to see more of these folks, but we also wouldn’t mind a little more time with them.
When Will the Third Season of Russian Doll Be Available to Watch?
Russian Doll season 3 has not been ordered by the network, so there is no telling when it could become available on Netflix. With the first season premiering in February 2019 and the second in April 2022, it may be another three years before we see Nadia and Alan again.
The Third Season of Russian Doll’s Storyline
Lyonne has made a short comment on a third season, telling Variety: “You can almost smell an idea for season 3 in the works. And it would be great if it turned out to be one of those programmes where viewers were like “No, wait a second!” five years later. It seems to me that we may have come up with a new plot for a few episodes. That seems like a fantastic addition to Russian Doll. Oh, wait, I believe we have a concept for our next movie now. Since then, 20 years have passed. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I’ll ever be able to get enough of this programme. A lot rides on hunger and reception.”
Who Exactly Would Play the Lead Roles?
There can be no Russian Doll without Nadia, played by Natasha Lyonne (who also co-created, writes, and sometimes directs the programme). Charlie Barnett’s Alan is a crucial cog in the show’s wheel, the counterpoint to Nadia, therefore he’ll be returning, too. Greta Lee’s Maxine and Rebecca Henderson’s Lizzy are both important cast members who should return to the programme in some manner.

Beyond that, however, much less can be said. Both Elizabeth Ashley and Annie Murphy did great work as Ruth, however she died at the end of Season 2, so unless Russian Doll does some time travel (which it very well may), that may be it for her. Chlo Sevigny, who played Nadia’s late mother, may not have as large a role in Season 3 as she had in Season 2, but she may make a return appearance in flashbacks. Even though it seems unlikely that Chez will return following his Season 2 storyline, we still want to give actor Sharlto Copley a shout-out in case we get our wish and see him in future episodes.
