Did you watch Russian Doll’s first season on Netflix and wonder how they were going to be able to do a second season after that ending? Well, now we know, and I think it is brilliant.
Set four years after Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) escaped mortality’s time loop together, season two of RUSSIAN DOLL will continue to explore existential thematics through an often humorous and sci-fi lens. Discovering a fate even worse than endless death, this season finds Nadia and Alan delving deeper into their pasts through an unexpected time portal located in one of Manhattan’s most notorious locations the New York City subway. At first, they experience this as an ever-expanding, era-spanning, intergenerational adventure, but they soon discover this extraordinary event might be more than they bargained for and, together, must search for a way out.
I like the twist. But now I want to know how they are going to change it up for the inevitable third season.
Last week, the curtain finally went up on Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s take of Plaza Suite on Broadway. However, this week, the lights are off for a few performances. That is because the couple and co-stars have both tested positive for COVID-19.
“With both Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker positive for COVID, tonight’s performance of ‘Plaza Suite’ is canceled,” the show’s producers said in a statement to Variety. “The producers apologize for the inconvenience this has caused audience members. Ticket holders should contact their point of sale to reschedule for a future performance or obtain a refund. Everyone wishes Matthew and Sarah Jessica a speedy recovery.”
Broderick got his results right before showtime on Tuesday, and his wife got the same diagnosis today.
Producers did not say when the show will go on again. But, I have a feeling they will wait until they both can resume the production together.
Do you know how there seems like there is nothing to watch over the summer? Well, not this year because ABC has a lot to keep us busy on the hot summer nights.
