A Closer Look at Netflix’s ‘Running Point’ Series Featuring Kate Hudson

“The behind-the-scenes of NBA teams is incredibly glamorous. This is such a high-profile workplace.” Netflix is set to unveil its latest sports comedy series, Running Point, streaming from the 27th (check out the main trailer). This series is brought to life by the talented Mindy Kaling for WB Television. “The balls are in her court now. Game on, boys.” 🏀 Kate Hudson takes on the role of Isla Gordon, a character who has been overlooked throughout her life but is now appointed as President of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team, a family-run business. She is determined to prove her worth amidst skepticism, internal conflicts, and the usual chaos of professional sports. The 10-episode series also stars Brenda Song as Ali Lee, along with Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, Max Greenfield, Justin Theroux, and many more. This series promises to be an entertaining sports comedy, potentially rivaling HBO’s acclaimed Lakers series, Winning Time. In this featurette, Brenda Song and Kate Hudson share insights about the series, while creator Mindy Kaling discusses the fun they had during production. It seems like a must-watch for anyone interested in the genre!

After a scandal leads to her brother’s resignation, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) becomes the president of the Los Angeles Waves, a prestigious basketball franchise and her family’s business. Ambitious yet often underestimated, Isla must demonstrate to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the broader sports community that she is the right choice for the role. From the acclaimed team of Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, Running Point offers a fresh take on the underdog comedy. Running Point is created and showrun by David Stassen, known for “The Mindy Project” and “History of the World: Part II.” The writing team includes Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, with episodes directed by filmmaker James Ponsoldt (Smashed, The Spectacular Now, The End of the Tour, The Circle, Summering). Produced by Jordan Rambis, this series is a collaboration between Kaling International and Warner Bros. Television, part of Kaling’s overall deal. Executive producers include Kate Hudson, Howard Klein, Jeanie Buss, and Linda Rambis. Netflix will premiere the Running Point series globally on February 27th, 2025.
