Who stars in Russian Doll 2?

So far it's only clear from the teaser trailer that Natasha Lyonne will return as Nadia Vulvokov. The Netflix synopsis also adds that Charlie Barnett will be returning as Alan Zaveri, but hopefully we will see some favourites from season two return.

What's the plot of Russian Doll 2?

Russian Doll season two will be set four years after Nadia's 36th Birthday party. The teaser trailer doesn't give much away, but it does see Nadia entering into a similar scenario on a New York subway train. The Netflix release teases that Nadia and Alan end up encountering "a fate even worse than endless death," which could potentially involve being stuck on a train... which we can all relate to. Netflix's also hint that the world of Russian Doll might be slightly larger than it was in season one, describing it as "an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure".

There is an inkling that Nadia has either accepted her fate somewhat or has realised trying to change her fate has been useless, where at the end of the clip she tells a man: "When the Universe f***s with you, let it."
