Every Song In Russian Doll Season 2
Warning: Contains spoilers for Russian Doll season 2.
In Russian Doll season 2, the TV series travels back in time and consequently the Russian Doll season 2 soundtrack is full of songs from different time periods. Russian Doll season 1 aired in 2019 and there was a three-year gap before season 2. However, this helped to fuel Russian Doll's four-year time jump between the in-universe timelines and set up a whole new story.
Russian Doll season 1 was set on Nadia Vulvokov’s (Natasha Lyonne) 36th birthday and saw her and Alan Zavere Charlie Barnett trapped in a time loop where they both died at the same time every day. Russian Doll’s new take for the dark time-bending comedy has Nadia and Alan using trains to travel back in time. While Alan only goes back in time to 1962 where he inhabits the body of his grandmother, Agnes (Carolyn Michelle Smith), Nadia goes back to 1944, 1968, and 1982 and inhabits both her mother, Nora (Chloë Sevigny), and her grandmother, Vera (Irén Bordán).

Here’s a complete song guide for the Russian Doll season 2 soundtrack and when each song appears in the show.
