Running Point, which Mindy Kaling co-created, uses the fictional basketball team the L.A. Waves to bring the recent domination of women in sports to the small screen. Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), a former party girl socialite, must prove herself to her family, the players, and the public when she is chosen to be the team president over her brothers.
Fans can watch how far Isla can lead the club during the regular season by the end of Running Point’s 10-episode season. It’s time to find out if the dysfunctional Gordon family and the Waves will return for another season. Here’s everything we know so far.
Has ‘Running Point’ Been Renewed For Season 2?
Netflix renewed Running Point for a second season just one week after the show’s February 27, 2025, Netflix premiere. The news was announced on Netflix’s X (formerly Twitter) with a video featuring star Kate Hudson and a post that says, “It’s official: See you next season. RUNNING POINT S2 IS COMING.”
Hudson discussed the show’s overwhelming success in the footage. “A good basketball team owner knows when to listen to the fans. So we hear you, and so did Netflix. Running Point is officially coming back for season 2!” she exclaims. “Thank you so much everyone who watched the show so far! I’m just beyond thrilled because you’re really the reason why we’re able to come back and do another season. So thank you and we’ll see you next season!”
Running Point has been a huge smash, instantly making it into the streamer’s Top 10, despite the fact that Netflix frequently waits to see how many viewers come in before determining whether to renew. Hudson and co-creators Mindy Kaling had also been advocating for a sequel. The two spoke candidly about the show’s future with Netflix execs in an interview with Entertainment Tonight before to its release.
“I had so much fun doing this. I just want to keep doing it,” Hudson said with a grin. Kaling added, “This is a message to Ted Sarandos: We love making the show, if you want to just pick us up for five more seasons.”

Season 2 might debut before the summer of 2026 if that production schedule is followed.
