Natasha Lyonne is already thinking about RussianDoll Season 3: 'It would be really fun if it was one of those shows where, five years later, we go, 'No, wait! We’ve got another idea for a few episodes...' I don’t think I’ll ever be done with this show.'
Do not read if you have not yet watched “Matryoshka,” the Season 2 finale episode of “In Season 2, “Russian Doll” broke out of its first season’s “Groundhog Day”-style time-loop format with a “Quantum Leap”-like time-travel device that allowed Nadia and Alan to jump into the bodies of their deceased loved ones by taking a trip on the New York City subway.
All of this culminates in Nadia giving birth to herself and taking the baby to the present to try to raise her better than Nadia was raised by Nora. That decision begins to rip apart the fabric of reality around Alan and Nadia, who dive further into the bowels of time and the MTA underworld — until Nadia finally brings Baby Nadia back to Nora and allows history to properly repeat itself.
Intergenerational trauma is a big theme in Season 2, explored in a very literal way thanks to the body-swapping element. What were you trying to say with this version of time travel, versus a more traditional way of approaching that plot device? I remember Allison Silverman bringing Octavia Butler’s “Kindred” into the room as a female lens of time travel. Of course, we all love “Back to the Future,” but are there other ways to see time? And when we talk about block universe, which is, to my limited-high-school-dropout understanding, this idea that moments in time are conceivably happening at the same time, but we lack the ability to see them.
