Natasha Lyonne to Direct Episode of Awkwafina's New Comedy Central Show

Natasha Lyonne will be hitting the director’s chair a lot!

The 40-year-old Russian Doll and Orange is the New Black actress revealed that she will be directing an episode of Awkwafina‘s upcoming Comedy Central show as well as an episode of Hulu’s High Fidelity reboot series and an episode of Aidy Bryant‘s Hulu series Shrill.

“I was directing High Fidelity mostly in Brooklyn, and now I’m directing Awkwafina mostly in Queens, so I’m really making my way through the boroughs,” Natasha joked to Deadline. She will be directing episode four of Awkwafina‘s untitled show.

“It’s been great,” Natasha added about her directing opportunities. “I’m getting in my hours. I dropped out of film school when I was 16. I dropped out of Tisch. I was in the filmmaking program as a film and philosophy double major. I really thought that I was going to read all these philosophical works and then I was going to make movies about them. Then I dropped out, and so now I’m getting it all back in. My teenage self is in seventh heaven.”

Natasha Lyonne‘s Russian Doll was recently nominated for 13 awards at the 2019 Emmy Awards including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series.
