Netflix hit a sweet spot with Running Point back in February 2025. Kate Hudson playing Isla Gordon — the chaotic, underestimated sister suddenly running a pro basketball team — turned out way more fun and addictive than most people expected. The mix of sharp family bickering, locker-room energy, and actual stakes kept people glued. Season 1 climbed Netflix charts fast and stayed there long enough that the renewal came basically overnight. Now everyone wants to know what’s next.
Running Point Season 2 Release Window
Filming wrapped faster than anyone predicted. They started shooting in LA around August and were done well before the holidays. Post-production is humming right now, so April 2026 feels like the strongest bet for the premiere. Nothing is carved in stone yet — Netflix loves dramatic last-minute date drops — but spring 2026 lines up perfectly with how quickly they moved after Season 1 blew up.
Running Point Season 2 Expected Cast
Kate Hudson is obviously back as Isla, still trying to prove she belongs in the owner’s box. The main crew that made Season 1 click is returning:
- Brenda Song
- Drew Tarver
- Scott MacArthur
- Fabrizio Guido
- Chet Hanks
- Toby Sandeman
Big upgrades this season: Justin Theroux (Cam Gordon) and Uche Agada (Dyson Gibbs) jump from recurring to full series regulars. That means way more screen time for both of them and probably some bigger story arcs.
New blood joining the chaos includes:
- Robert Townsend
- Ken Marino
- Tommy Dewey
- Richa Moorjani
- Jake Picking
- Blake Anderson
- Duby Maduegbunam
- Aliyah Turner
That lineup promises fresh rivalries, new love interests, maybe a wildcard owner or two — basically everything needed to keep the Waves organization feeling alive and messy.
Running Point Season 2 Potential Plot
Season 1 ended on several juicy cliffs: Isla finally finding her footing, family secrets still simmering, the team hovering between breakout season and total collapse. Exact details are locked down tight, but the energy points toward bigger stakes. More boardroom power plays, deeper looks at Isla figuring out who she actually wants to be, and the Gordon family doing what they do best — loving each other while simultaneously driving each other insane. Basketball scenes should feel even sharper now that the show has proven it can handle both the comedy and the court.
