Russian Doll season 3 potential release date: When can we see it?
At present Netflix has not affirmed any official plans for season 3, but the writers and creators sure have.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter all the way back in 2019, Natasha explained: “I see it quite concretely, and it will be interesting to see what evolves. The beauty of the power of the writers room is that Alan [Charlie Barnett] was a very different character in the original pitch and pilot. Month two of the room is where he really came alive. Before then, he had been a whole variety of other figures and now, looking back, imagining that show without Alan is almost impossible.
“Because of that experience, I know there has to be space left open for something beyond my limited imagination in this moment to know if that is still where the series begins, middles and ends. Maybe it’s only two seasons. Maybe it’s four seasons. Right now, it feels quite clearly that it is those three.”
Lyonne’s co-maker Leslye Headland affirmed this while talking with RadioTimes: “We initially pitched it as three seasons. We came in with it as like, ‘Here’s the idea for season one, here’s the idea for season two, here’s the idea for season three’. So, I could definitely see us going back to one of those ideas.”

Nadia wouldn’t be complete without her sweet birthday baby bestie, Maxine, portrayed by Greta Lee.
Aside from that, the fate of the cast is in literal hands of time – with adventures into Nadia’s past possibly restoring the young Aunt Ruth (Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy), the older and now late and presently late Aunt Ruth (Elizabeth Ashley) and her absentee tearaway mother (portrayed by Chloe Sevigny during the ’80s timeline).
Russian Doll season 3 plot: What will happen?
The beauty and the frustration of Russian Doll in the beyond 2 seasons work as standalones, yet when put together make pieces of a larger puzzle.
