Kate Hudson is back, but this time Isla Gordon isn’t stepping into the job, she’s fighting to keep it.
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Running Point Season 2, with the basketball comedy returning April 23. If Season 1 was about Isla proving she could lead, Season 2 is about what happens when everyone starts questioning it.
Following last season’s scandal, the Los Angeles Waves are finally stabilizing, but the pressure is only getting heavier. Isla is determined to prove she’s not just holding the seat for her brother Cam (Justin Theroux). The problem? Cam isn’t as removed as he seems, and he’s quietly plotting his return, turning every one of Isla’s missteps into leverage.
That shift puts Isla directly in the line of fire. She’s no longer underestimated, she’s the target.
The new trailer leans into that tension, balancing family power plays with the chaos of running a professional basketball team. And while Isla is trying to keep everything from unraveling, her personal life isn’t exactly making things easier.
The core cast returns, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, and Uche Agada. Jay Ellis is back as Coach Jay Brown, alongside Max Greenfield, continuing the romantic tension that carried over from last season.
Season 2 also adds a stacked lineup of guest stars, including Octavia Spencer, Nicole Richie, Lisa Rinna, Scott Speedman, and Ray Romano, who steps in as the Waves’ new head coach. Co-creator Ike Barinholtz also returns onscreen as Cousin Bennie.
Aliyah Turner, Ken Marino, Roberto Sanchez, Jon Glaser, Scott Evans, Rob Huebel, Marissa Reyes, Blake Anderson, Tommy Dewey, Richa Moorjani, and Jake Picking round out the recurring lineup.
Created by Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, David Stassen, and Barinholtz, the series continues to pull from the high-stakes, personality-driven world of professional basketball — inspired by Lakers executive Jeanie Buss — while staying rooted in family dynamics, ego, and control.
If Season 1 was about earning respect, Season 2 is about holding onto it.
And from the looks of it, Isla’s about to learn that keeping control might be harder than getting it.
