become obsessed with filming a pivotal finale sequence at a location that was her “kind of kink” — the underground cisterns in Budapest.
Eventually, her wait-and-see approach worked out when a producer told her, “You’re never going to believe it. Not those cisterns, but another one came up and we can shoot.” She responded, “You’re right. I wouldn’t believe it. That is sensational news.” In “Russian Doll” Season 2, which dropped in April, more than three years after the first season, the core story of “Russian Doll” was once again about Lyonne’s Nadia and her time-loop soulmate Alan Zaveri . But for the second go, the pair weren’t stuck in “Groundhog Day”-style hell and instead found themselves “Quantum Leap”-ing into their dead relatives’ bodies decades prior.
While breaking out the first season’s tentpoles, Lyonne noticed the importance of having someone else there. “By Season 2, the revelation is that their worlds are not quite as far apart as this ‘Odd Couple’ setup may seem,” Lyonne says.
“In many ways, the achievement of Season 2 and the litmus test is that it’s its own thing that’s an extension of the thing, so that it really kind of makes ‘Russian Doll’ be allowed to be what feels current to us in that room. It allows us to be the owners of it, who can take the most care of it.”“In Season 2, Natasha truly carried the baby. She wrote, produced, directed and starred in a very complicated and deeply beautiful show during a pandemic,” she told.
