Netflix has set April 23 for the Season 2 premiere of its basketball comedy series Running Point, starring Kate Hudson. We’re also getting a first look at the second season in several photos the streamer just released, including new recurring cast member Ray Romano as Coach Norm, Justin Theroux and Uche Agada, who were promoted to series regulars for Season 2, and many more. You can see the photos above and below.
In Running Point, when a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Hudson) is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job.
In Season 2, Isla (Hudson) is no longer the surprise choice to lead the Los Angeles Waves, she’s the one everyone is watching. With the franchise finally rebounding after last year’s scandal, Isla is determined to prove she’s not just keeping the seat warm for her brother Cam (Theroux). What she doesn’t know is that Cam is quietly maneuvering behind the scenes to reclaim his post, turning every misstep into ammunition. As she tries to balance the pressure of running a franchise with devoting time to her personal life, every decision on and off the court counts. To survive the family power plays and the scrutiny of the board, she’ll have to rip up last season’s game plan and come up with a whole new playbook if she wants to close out the season on top.
In addition to Hudson and Theroux, main cast also includes Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman and Uche Agada.
Recurring cast includes Romano, Max Greenfield, Jay Ellis, Roberto Sanchez, Jon Glaser, Scott Evans, Rob Huebel, Marissa Reyes, Blake Anderson, Ken Marino, Tommy Dewey, Richa Moorjani, Aliyah Turner and Jake Picking.
Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz and showrunner David Stassen are writers/executive producers, with Hudson, Howard Klein, Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis also executive producing. Jordan Rambis serves as producer. The series comes from Kaling’s Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling is under an overall deal.
