With viewers wanting more fresh shows and movies, Netflix is contributing to this shift by bringing back its popular comedy, Running Point, for another season. The show’s story, though largely made up, is inspired by a real-life situation from the 2010s involving the late Jerry Buss, the former owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, and the complications that arose when he handed control of the team to his children. Jeanie Buss, the current Lakers CEO and owner, is involved as an executive producer, helping to share her family’s story in a new way—her character is portrayed by Kate Hudson, who received an Oscar nomination for her work.
Season 2 will show Gordon moving forward after the drama from last season, with her basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, now a strong contender to win the championship. The new season will also feature several new faces, including well-known actors like Ray Romano (from Everybody Loves Raymond), Jon Glaser (known for The Dictator), and Ken Marino (Wanderlust). Before the season begins, fans are getting a clearer picture of what to expect from Gordon’s team and the challenges she faces.
Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of Running Point, which premieres on April 23rd. The trailer shows over a minute of new scenes, giving viewers a preview of the exciting upcoming episodes starring Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, and the rest of the cast.
Gordon is now in charge of the Los Angeles Waves, but she’s facing some serious new challenges. She’s determined to lead her team to victory, but a power struggle is brewing with the return of Cam Gordon, who wants to regain control. Add to that a crumbling stadium and a new head coach played by Ray Romano, and the Gordon family could be facing even more chaos than they did in the first season.
Isla is struggling with the demands of being a basketball team owner and constantly feeling like she’s falling short of others’ expectations. The show revisits her complicated past with her ex-fiancé, Lev Levinson (played by Max Greenfield), leaving viewers wondering if they’ll ever reconcile, all while Jay Brown (Jay Ellis) remains a presence in her life.
The show’s story takes inspiration from real events, but the trailer suggests it will also introduce new storylines not seen in the original Lakers/Buss family history. While Isla’s possible romance with Jay shares some similarities with Jeanie Buss’s relationship with Phil Jackson, it’s still unclear how closely these narratives will align. For now, viewers are eagerly awaiting the mix of comedy, drama, and heartfelt moments that Netflix and Kate Hudson’s talented cast will deliver.
Running Point Season 2 will begin streaming on Netflix on Apr. 23.
