'Same show, just weirder'

Black comedy series Russian Doll is returning to Netflix. 

Star Natasha Lyonne has confirmed that the streaming giant has given the  green light to a second series of the show, in which she was forced to relive the same day again and again.

In a nod to a recurring scene in the series, the actress announced the news with a video of herself in a bathroom as Harry Nilsson’s Gotta Get Up plays.
