Taking to Twitter, fans of the critically-acclaimed comedy-drama revealed that because it had been so long since season one was released all the way back in early 2019, they had forgotten a lot of what had happened in the mind-bending first season.

WATCH: Will you be watching season two of Russian Doll?

One said: "Bruh it's been like 3 years since I watched @Netflix @RussianDoll. I was hyped for a season 2 but it took so long I completely forgot I ever watched the show."

The synopsis for season two reads: "Set four years after Nadia and Alan 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. 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."
