Exciting News: Netflix Renews ‘Running Point’ for Season 2 – What to Expect!

Netflix has just announced it will renew the basketball comedy Running Point for a second season. This quick decision came just days after the show’s premiere on February 27, which gained a lot of attention.

In its opening weekend, Running Point attracted an impressive 9.3 million views and landed in the Top 10 in 83 countries. This strong performance helped secure its future early on.

Co-creator and executive producer Mindy Kaling expressed excitement about the renewal, saying, “We are so thrilled to deliver a Season 2 to the fans of the show. We still cannot believe the response from audiences—thank you to everyone who has watched!”

The series follows Isla Gordon, played by Kate Hudson. Inspired by the real-life challenges faced by LA Lakers president Jeanie Buss, Isla takes charge of the Los Angeles Waves after a family scandal. She must prove herself in a role often dominated by men, facing doubts from her brothers and the broader sports community.

The first season features a talented cast, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, and Justin Theroux. The show is a collaboration between Kaling’s production company and Warner Bros. Television, with Kaling leading the creative team.
