If one needs proof that ’90s nostalgia is a flourishing prospect these days, look no further than this bit of news. According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter (via Polygon), ’90s girl group phenomenon the Spice Girls are getting an animated feature length movie from Paramount Animation. So far, all five Spice Girls — Melanie Brown (Scary), Emma Bunton (Baby), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty), Geri Halliwell (Ginger), and Victoria Beckham (Posh) — are on board. Karen McCullah and Kiwi Smith will write the film’s script. No word yet on if this is a sequel or re-imagining of the Spice Girls’ original big screen outing, 1998’s camptastic Spice World.



The girl group was a huge thing for a hot minute back in the ’90s. Their debut single “Wannabe” was a massive hit song all over the world. And even if you wanted to escape Spice mania, you couldn’t. Their whole “girl power” slogan and Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack dress became icons of late ’90s popular culture. Like a comet streaking across the sky however, the Spice Girls’ reign was brief. They released three albums in three years, then called it quits. Each girl went on to their own solo fame,  although some more famous than others. The ladies even recently announced a reunion tour for 2019.



It makes sense for the Spice Girls to make an animated comeback, when you think about. The little girls who grew up idolizing them back in the day are all grown up now; many have little girls of their own. When choosing which animated movie to take little Suzy to on a lazy Sunday, parents just might pick a Spice Girls movie over the latest adventure from the Minions. If only because Scary, Baby, Ginger, Sporty, and Posh might be a fun nostalgia trip for them too.

Natasha Lyonne dying in increasingly creative ways isn’t exactly a joy to watch (maybe because I love Natasha Lyonne too much) but we get to live in the loop all over again with Russian Doll season two. For those who didn’t watch the Netflix show’s first exemplary season, where have you been, friend? I know you probably have things to do in your life, but also that is a mistake you’ve very clearly made and you need to fix it.

The show follows Nadia (Lyonne) who lives in New York and is celebrating her birthday. As her night goes on, she finds herself lying in the street dead after a car hits her. So what happens after she dies? Her night resets and she’s back in the bathroom of her birthday party, given a second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. chance to fix the loop.

A show that made us newly want to rock curly bangs, Russian Doll somehow made the repetitive nature of a Groundhog Day-esque night seem new and fresh with each new episode. From Nadia finding Alan (Charlie Barnett) stuck in the same death loop that she is to learning about Nadia’s mother (Chloë Sevigny) and her childhood trauma, the show is filled with interesting characters, twists, and more to keep us engaged.

Natasha Lyonne shared the news on her Twitter account with a fun video announcing the second season.

Personally, I’m extremely excited that the show will be returining. Russian Doll is an excellent look at a wonderfully complicated female character and the joys that we, as the audience, can have while watching her journey. With Natasha Lyonne’s Nadia, we get a female character who is not idealized but rather a fully fleshed-out, richly complex person, and that alone will keep me tuning in for more.

Russian Doll season 2 has a lot to live up to, but honestly? I trust everyone involved and know it is going to be quite an interesting season.
