The series is loosely inspired by Jeanie Buss, the controlling owner and president of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is also credited as an executive producer, lending the comedy's story of a woman fighting for respect in a male-dominated sports world a real-life foundation.
Running Point marks Kate Hudson's first leading role in a television series, a notable move for a film actor best known for romantic comedies, and she has spoken about being drawn to the chance to anchor an ongoing ensemble comedy.
Netflix renewed the series for a second season within weeks of its debut, a vote of confidence that reflected strong viewership and made it one of the platform's breakout comedy successes of early 2025.
Running Point is a breezy, joke-packed Netflix sports comedy created by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, loosely inspired by the life of Los Angeles Lakers executive Jeanie Buss. Kate Hudson stars as Isla Gordon, the overlooked sister in a basketball dynasty who is unexpectedly named president of the fictional Los Angeles Waves after her brother steps down, forcing a woman long dismissed as the family's party girl to prove she can run a struggling professional franchise.
Surrounded by skeptical brothers, a demanding roster, and a league that never quite takes her seriously, Isla sets out to turn the team around while wrangling her chaotic family. Hudson, in her first major television lead, brings her signature warmth and comic timing to a role that lets her be both glamorous and self-deprecating. The ensemble, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, and Chet Hanks, gives the show a rapid-fire, workplace-comedy rhythm familiar from Kaling's other series.
Premiering in February 2025, Running Point became an immediate streaming hit and was renewed by Netflix for a second season within weeks, buoyed by Hudson's star turn and the reliable appeal of an underdog sports comedy. Light on its feet and unabashedly crowd-pleasing, it streams on Netflix.
