Many want to know whether the Natasha Lyonne-led series will return for another season.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor – who also co-created the series – revealed that Russian Doll was pitched as a three season show.
“We definitely pitched it as this three-season idea and yet it’s so interesting to think about how that shapes and morphs in the time since making it,” she said. “Who knows if we’ll be lucky enough to go back down the rabbit hole. That’s tomorrow’s question. But I think we have some ideas.”
Lyonne went ont to discuss how the age of “Peak TV” has allowed creators to make out-there series: “The idea that [viewers] would conceivably follow us on that course, should we jump off that cliff, it’s pretty fun to even consider the fantasy,” she added.
Co-creator Leslye Headland spoke about whether Lyonne would return as the leading character Nadia, remaining coy about the protagonist’s return.
“We all have more to tell as artists,” Headland said. ”But it was not in a very conventional way, if that makes sense. She was always a presence, as we knew Lyonne would always be the beating heart and soul of this show. Whether she was being haunted or she was haunting the narrative, she would be there.”
