Netflix has announced the premiere date for the second season of Running Point, a comedy series created by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and Elaine Ko. The show stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, the president of the fictional Los Angeles Waves basketball team. Season 2 is scheduled to stream on Netflix starting April 23.
The series draws inspiration from the experiences of Jeanie Buss, the governor of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Buss family sold the Lakers to Mark Walter for approximately $10 billion in June, according to ESPN. Running Point fictionalizes the dynamics of team ownership and family involvement in professional sports.
Isla Gordon faced multiple personal and professional developments, including a kiss with head coach Jay Brown, played by Jay Ellis. She also encountered her brother Cam, portrayed by Justin Theroux, who had recently exited rehab and returned to the team facility. Season 2 continues these storylines with heightened tensions.
Isla remains in a power struggle with her brothers, Ness (Scott MacArthur) and Sandy (Drew Tarver). Cam's return to the team adds further complexity to the family and organizational dynamics.
The Season 2 trailer, released on March 26, introduces Ray Romano as the new head coach, replacing Jay Brown in that role, though Jay Ellis's character still appears.
Additional new cast members include Nicole Richie and Lisa Rinna, with a cameo by Octavia Spencer. Returning actors are Brenda Song, Max Greenfield, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, and Jon Glaser. The trailer depicts the franchise in disarray, with Isla facing significant public scrutiny.
Cam expresses readiness to work under Isla's leadership. These elements build on the interpersonal and professional conflicts established in Season 1.
