Netflix has officially greenlit *Running Point* for a second season, just one week after its debut on February 27. The streaming giant made the announcement on its official social media channels, confirming the show’s return.
The series’ lead, Kate Hudson, who plays Isla Gordon, shared the exciting news in a heartfelt video message, expressing gratitude to fans for their overwhelming support. “A great basketball team owner knows when to listen to the fans. And we’ve heard you loud and clear—so has Netflix,” she said. “*Running Point* is officially coming back for Season 2! A huge thank you to everyone who has tuned in so far. You’re the reason we get to do this all over again!”
The comedy revolves around Isla Gordon, the daughter of a renowned professional basketball team owner. When a scandal forces her brother to resign as team president, Isla is thrust into the role unexpectedly. Despite facing doubt from her family, the board, and the sports community, she must demonstrate her capability and prove she’s the right person for the job.
The show boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Jay Ellis, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Max Greenfield, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Roberto Sanchez, Uche Agada, Dane DiLiegro, and Justin Theroux.
*Running Point* is the brainchild of Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, who also serve as executive producers. Stassen takes on the role of showrunner. In addition to her starring role, Kate Hudson is an executive producer, alongside Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss and special projects manager Linda Rambis. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television under Kaling’s production banner, Kaling International.
The swift renewal underscores the show’s positive reception and solidifies Netflix’s dedication to delivering innovative, sports-inspired comedy content.
