‘District 9’ Star Sharlto Copley Joins the Second Season of Netflix’s “Russian Doll”
Netflix‘s series “Russian Doll” will be back for a second season, with Natasha Lyonne once again leading the cast. And this time around, Sharlto Copley (District 9) will be joining her.
Annie Murphy and Carolyn Michelle Smith are also on board for season two. Deadline reports, “No details about the Season 2 storyline or the new characters have been released. The first season followed a young woman named Nadia, played by Natasha Lyonne, who repeatedly dies during a New York party, reliving the same night in an ongoing time loop.”
“Nadia keeps dying and reliving her 36th birthday party. She’s trapped in a surreal time loop — and staring down the barrel of her own mortality.”
Production on Season 2 is underway, with a Summer 2021 premiere being eyed.
Lyonne is also a co-creator and executive producer of the series.
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
