Netflix has officially renewed Running Point for a second season, just a week after its premiere on February 27. The streaming platform announced the renewal on its official social accounts.
Series lead Kate Hudson, who stars as Isla Gordon, shared the news in a video message, thanking viewers for their support. “A good basketball team owner knows when to listen to the fans. So we hear you, and so did Netflix,” she said. “Running Point is officially coming back for Season 2! Thank you so much to everyone who watched the show so far! You’re really the reason why we’re able to come back and do another season.”
The comedy series follows Isla Gordon, the daughter of a legendary pro basketball team owner. After a scandal forces her brother to step down as team president, Isla is unexpectedly promoted to the role. Facing skepticism from her family, the board, and the sports world, she must prove she was the right choice for the job.
Alongside Hudson, the ensemble cast includes 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 created by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, who also serve as executive producers. Stassen is the showrunner. Hudson executive produces in addition to starring, while Los Angeles Lakers president Jeanie Buss and special projects manager Linda Rambis are also part of the executive team. Warner Bros. Television, through Kaling’s Kaling International banner, produces the series.
The rapid renewal highlights the strong reception of Running Point, reinforcing Netflix’s commitment to fresh, sports-themed comedy content.
