Natasha Lyonne Dies Over & Over Again in Netflix's Russian Dolls
The Amy Poehler produced dark comedy sports an all-female writing team!
Orange Is the New Black star Natasha Lyonne's twisted dark comedy Russian Dolls is on it's way to Netflix.
Co-created by Lyonne, Amy Poehler, and Leslye Headland, the eight-episode series sports an all-female writing and directing team. Lyonne plays Nadia, a New Yorker desperate to escape her own birthday party. When she promptly leaves, she trips down the stairs and dies very painfully. In a very Groundhog Day fashion, Nadia is forced to relive the party over and over again and every time she dies, Nadia is thrust back to the beginning to relive it again.
"I think of it as sort of an existential adventure show," Lyonne recently told The Hollywood Reporter. "I don’t know that there’s really been this show for women just yet. I’m very proud of it and really excited."
Russian Dolls premieres February 1 on Netflix. Watch the trailer below!
