Leslye Headland has huge success from the Netflix show Russian Doll which she co-created with Natasha Lyonne and Amy Poehler. The show won two Emmys and was nominated for 13.

About the multi-year deal, Headland said, “I am thrilled to be working with Bert, Jane, Dana and Craig, and the Fox 21 team. They championed me and helped me land my first job as a staff writer about ten years ago. I was an unpublished playwright and they fought to get me a seat at the table. It has been an ambition of mine to return to the fold and develop my personal and passion projects with them. I am so excited to get started and grateful for this incredible opportunity!”

She has also written and directed many other films and television shows including About Last Night, which starred Kevin Hart and Sleeping With Other People, which starred Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis.

That’s how Natasha Lyonne pictures her latest series, Russian Doll.

Lyonne’s character, Nadia, finds herself reliving her 36th birthday over and over, with no way to break the Groundhog Day cycle.

The Orange is the New Black star, who is also the creator of the series, told The Hollywood Reporter that she feels the story can be told succinctly in three seasons.

“I see it quite concretely, and it will be interesting to see what evolves,” she said. “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.”

Netflix has already ordered a second season of the dramedy, and here’s hoping that a third is on the cards.

The streaming service has announced that the Natasha Lyonne series has been renewed for a second season.

The dramedy, which is a more modern take on the Groundhog Day concept, finds Lyonne’s character Nadia constantly dying and reliving her 36th birthday party. Over and over.

“Same show, just weirder,” Lyonne announced at the CODE Conference in Arizona.”The character is a coder, so it would be appropriate to have this be the time and place to say, yes. So very much yes, I would love to do [a second season].”

The sophomore installment will once again consist of 8 episodes.

The Orange is the New Black actress, who also executive produced the show, hinted previously that the creators had planned a three season arc.
