Hey, basketball and drama fans, it’s time to lace up your sneakers because Netflix is bringing back the comedy-drama ‘Running Point’ for a slam-dunk second season. Starring the ever-glamorous Kate Hudson, the series will premiere on April 23, sure to bring a new wave of excitement to your screens. Since its debut back in February 2025, ‘Running Point’ has been a court-side hit, following Hudson’s character Isla Gordon as she steps up as the president of the Los Angeles Waves amid a family scandal.
This season, Isla Gordon is no longer the underdog. She’s now under the spotlight, steering the Waves after her brother Cam, played by Justin Theroux, stepped down. While Isla shows she’s more than capable, the stakes have never been higher. Netflix teases that her brother isn't quite out of the game yet, as Cam quietly plots his return, turning her every stumble into an opportunity for his comeback.
“Every decision on and off the court counts,” Netflix hints. “To survive the family power plays and the scrutiny of the board, she’ll have to rip up last season’s game plan and come up with a whole new playbook.”
Fans can expect a blend of personal and professional challenges that promise to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Season 2 will not only see the return of favorites like Drew Tarver and Scott MacArthur but also welcomes new talents including Ray Romano, who steps in as Coach Norm Stinson. Romano’s addition comes after a recast, adding a fresh dynamic to the team. The series continues to expand its star-studded lineup with appearances by Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, and many others.
Behind the scenes, the magic is crafted by the creative minds of Mindy Kaling and Ike Barinholtz, alongside showrunner David Stassen. This powerhouse team continues to knit together the rich tapestry of comedy and drama. With executive producers like Linda Rambis and Howard Klein on board, the second season promises more intrigue and strategy than ever before.
As the countdown to April 23 begins, fans can catch a first look at the upcoming season, promising a riveting blend of humor, family dynamics, and basketball shenanigans only Los Angeles can deliver. Make sure your courtside snacks are ready – it’s going to be a thrilling season with Isla Gordon at the helm!
