Netflix Invites You to Join the Family Business

In the recently released trailer for the new series Running Point, Kate Hudson takes on the role of Isla Gordon, the newly appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise. After a scandal forces her brother, played by Justin Theroux, to step down, Hudson’s character must navigate the challenges of proving her worth to a skeptical family, board members, and the sports community.

“I work in a family business for the greatest basketball franchise in the history of the game, the Los Angeles Waves. And this is the story of the messed-up family that runs it,” Hudson’s character declares in the trailer, setting the stage for a compelling narrative.

Throughout the teaser, Hudson faces skepticism from critics who label her a “Nepo baby,” questioning her qualifications. Despite the doubts, Isla is resolute in her mission to lead the team to the playoffs and achieve success.

“On behalf of all women, don’t ever make a mistake. It looks bad for all of us,” Brenda Strong advises Hudson as she prepares to embrace her new responsibilities.

This 10-episode series, touted as offering a “bold twist on the underdog comedy,” features a talented ensemble cast, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, and Max Greenfield.

The series is helmed by showrunner David Stassen, with Mindy Kaling and Ike Barinholtz contributing as writers and executive producers. Hudson, alongside Howard Klein from 3 Arts Entertainment, Jeanie Buss, and Linda Rambis, also serves as an executive producer, with Jordan Rambis producing.

Running Point is produced by Mindy Kaling’s Kaling International in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling has an overall deal.

Mark your calendars: Running Point premieres on Netflix on February 27.
