Running Point shot a winning basket at Netflix as the family comedy starring Kate Hudson scores a Season 2 renewal just a week after its Season 1 debut.

Considering the quick turnaround, we’re breaking down everything we know about Season 2 so far, ranging from returning stars to potential plots, and much more. Scroll down for a closer look, and let us know if you’ll be tuning in for the upcoming chapter when it lands on the streamer.

When is Running Point Season 2 premiering?

Netflix

Running Point Season 2 doesn’t currently have a premiere date, but Netflix announced its renewal for Season 2 on March 6, 2025, exactly one week after its debut on February 27th. Stay tuned for updates surrounding a premiere date once the series Season 2 production gets underway.

What has been said about Running Point‘s Season 2 renewal?

According to Netflix, Running Point‘s success was a slam dunk upon its debut pulling in 9.3 million views and ranking among the Top 10 in 83 countries. In a statement surrounding the renewal co-creator, executive producer, and writer Mindy Kaling said, “We are so thrilled to be able to deliver a Season 2 of Running Point to the fans of the show. We still cannot believe the response from audiences — thank you to everyone who has watched! Thank you to our partners at Netflix, Warner Brothers, our star who brought this show to life, Kate Hudson, and of course Executive Producers Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis, without whom there would be no Running Point.

What will Running Point Season 2 be about?

Netflix

No loglines for Season 2 have been shared, but as viewers saw in the finale episode, there were more than a few cliffhangers for Season 2 to address. After taking over as president of the Los Angeles Waves, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) managed to steer the team toward success despite the factors working against her. While the team may have lost their big final game, Isla was resolved to deliver basketball greatness next season, until she walked into her office to find older brother and former disgraced president Cam (Justin Theroux) sitting behind her desk.

Not to mention, her relationship with pediatrician Lev (Max Greenfield) was up in the air, especially after a spontaneous kiss with coach Jay Brown (Jay Ellis). We can imagine these big cliffhangers will be addressed as the show continues to explore the growing relationship between Isla, her brothers Sandy (Drew Tarver) and Ness (Scott MacArthur), and their newly-discovered baby brother Jackie (Fabrizio Guido).

Who stars in Running Point Season 2?

Running Point‘s first season featured Hudson, Tarver, MacArthur, Guido, Theroux, Ellis, Brenda Song, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Roberto Sanchez, Uche Agada, and Dane DiLiegro among others. We’re keeping out fingers crossed they’ll all be back, but stay tuned for any updates surrounding official announcements.

Who makes Running Point Season 2?

As mentioned, above, Mindy Kaling is a co-creator of the series alongside fellow writers Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, the latter of which serves as showrunner. In addition to Kaling, Barinholtz, and Stassen, executive producers on the series include Hudson, Howard Klein, Jeanie Buss, and Linda Rambis. Meanwhile, Jordan Rambis serves as a producer. Running Point is produced by Mindy Kaling’s Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Oilers to Acquire a Top-Tier Goalie. An Official Trade Offer Is on the Table in a Blockbuster Deal

Oilers to Acquire a Top-Tier Goalie. An Official Trade Offer Is on the Table in a Blockbuster Deal

The Boston Bruins have been under pressure to retool after a disappointing season, and now a potential blockbuster move could shake the entire NHL. A major trade proposal has surfaced that could send a star goaltender to the Edmonton Oilers, a move that would give them the elite presence they've lacked in net while forcing Boston closer to a rebuild. The deal being floated by multiple outlets would send Edmonton's current starter, Stuart Skinner, along with Matthew Savoie, Beau Akey, and a 2028 first-round pick to Boston, while the Oilers land a goaltender capable of changing their Cup window overnight. Edmonton's push for a franchise goalie could reshape the Western Conference and challenge the Dallas Stars' path to the Cup If this trade goes through, the Oilers would instantly address one of their biggest weaknesses, setting up a showdown with teams like the Dallas Stars, who already see Edmonton as one of their toughest rivals. Boston, on the other hand, would fully commit to a rebuild, pairing Joonas Korpisalo with Skinner in what could be one of the NHL's weakest tandems, likely boosting their draft lottery odds in one of the most hyped draft classes in recent memory (NHL.com). An insider noted, "They weren't the only ones who had inquired about Swayman, but yes, I was told they poked around." That comment shows just how wide the interest is for this level of goalie talent (Heavy.com). I think this kind of trade would completely shift the balance of power in the West, making Edmonton even more dangerous for teams like Dallas, who could end up facing a vastly upgraded Oilers team in the playoffs. If Boston truly embraces a rebuild, moving their top goaltender could be the first domino in a massive roster overhaul, something that could shake the market for weeks.

Kirk Cousins makes notable leadership move after Falcons practice

Kirk Cousins makes notable leadership move after Falcons practice

Kirk Cousins might be relegated to the job of backup quarterback, but he is showing veteran leadership to his Atlanta Falcons teammates. Following Sunday's practice, Cousins pulled aside rookie defensive end James Pearce to encourage the first-round pick after his fourth practice in the league at Flowery Branch, Georgia. "QB Kirk Cousins pulled aside Pearce after practice to compliment him on a pass batted down," wrote Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Cousins reportedly had a solid day of practice on Sunday, going 7-of-12 passing against the first-team unit. If Cousins wants out of Atlanta, he's not showing it at practice. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is competing on the field and being a good teammate around the facility. Cousins' actions on the field backed up what Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot praised Cousins for before the team's practice on Sunday. “Outside, it's a lot more of a deal than it is in the building,” Fontenot said to the media about the idea of friction between the Falcons and Cousins, per video from D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “He shows up, he does his job, just like anybody ... We've gotta build the best 70-man roster so we can go win games. "That's what we're focused on, and Kirk, just like all the other players, is focused on coming in here and doing their job. That's what he's been doing." Fontenot didn't dismiss the idea that Atlanta would trade Cousins before the season. He said the Falcons will do whatever it takes to make the team better, but stressed that Cousins has been a professional throughout the process of being replaced by Michael Penix Jr., a first-round pick from the 2024 draft. “In terms of making moves, whether it's trades or acquiring players, we're always looking at those factors," Fontenot said. "We're gonna do whatever we can do to make this team the best it can possibly be. But he's been a great professional, and he's handled himself well.” Cousins is coming to work in a manner that will make another owner want to take a chance on the veteran quarterback. That could be one of his best-selling points before he plays in his 13th season in the league.

Ryne Sandberg’s health was worst-kept secret at HOF induction weekend

Ryne Sandberg’s health was worst-kept secret at HOF induction weekend

Ryne Sandberg died on Monday at 65 after battling prostate cancer. His death came a day after the 2025 class was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Apparently the former second baseman’s health status was the worst-kept secret over the weekend. MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi said on X that Wade Boggs had cried when mentioning Sandberg during an interview with Morosi recently. Boggs had cried because he knew his Hall of Fame classmate of 2005 was in declining health. Veteran MLB reporter Jayson Stark said that there was sadness around Cooperstown as people prepared to hear the news about Sandberg. Sandberg played in Major League Baseball for 16 seasons from 1981-97. He played 15 seasons with the Chicago Cubs and became a beloved figure in the city. Sandberg earned 10 All-Star selections, nine Gold Glove Awards, and seven Silver Slugger Awards while in Chicago. Sandberg also was named National League MVP in 1984 and led the NL with 40 home runs in the 1990 season. Sandberg first announced in January 2024 that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. A positive development then followed in August when Sandberg revealed that tests had detected no more cancer in his body following treatment. However, Sandberg announced just a few months later that his cancer had returned. Additionally, Sandberg revealed that the cancer had spread to his other organs as well. After retiring as a player, Sandberg was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005, his third year on the ballot. He also had his No. 23 retired by the Cubs later that year and briefly had a stint from 2013-15 as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Sandberg’s first MLB team.

Top Islanders Star Tells Asst. GM, 'You Better Not Trade Me'

Top Islanders Star Tells Asst. GM, 'You Better Not Trade Me'

The New York Islanders are entering a new era under a revamped front office, and signs point to a potential retool—or even a rebuild. The most telling move came at the NHL Draft in June, when the team traded star defenseman Noah Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for two first-round picks. It’s a rare move in today’s NHL to deal your top blueliner, and it raised eyebrows across the league. Analysts and fans have wondered if more moves are coming. Since there are several teams looking for quality assets at a reasonable salary cap, it’s a logical question. Is Bo Horvat A Potential Trade Candidate? During an appearance on the Cam and Strick Podcast, newly appointed assistant to the general manager Matt Martin—an Islanders fan favorite and longtime forward—revealed a humorous but telling moment from inside the locker room. Martin, now working closely with the Isles’ new GM, said that Bo Horvat texted him immediately after the front office changes were announced. “You better not trade me,” Horvat reportedly wrote. The comments from Martin suggest that Horvat has no desire to leave the team, even if the Islanders aren’t set to be competitive this coming season. If the team is dumping some of their best talents, he does not want to be among those the organization chooses to sell. Horvat likely didn’t have to worry. He has a full no-trade clause as part of his contract, and even if management were open to asking him to waive it, he could have blocked any deal. It sounds like that would be his intention, so he was getting ahead of things by making sure they knew not to even ask.
