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 Season 2 will see the returns of Hudson, Tarver, MacArthur, Guido, Theroux, Ellis, Greenfield, Brenda Song, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Roberto Sanchez, Uche Agada, Jon Glaser, Scott Evans, Rob Huebel, Marissa Reyes, and Justin Hurtt-Dunkley.
New recurring guest stars joining the series for Season 2 include Ken Marino as Al Fleischman, the “toilet ing of Orange County” who wants better courtside seats to the Los Angeles Waves, Tommy Dewey as Magnus, general manager of the Toronto Trappers, Richa Moorjani as Aruna, the Waves’ star accountant, Jake Picking as Tommy White, the Waves’ pretty-boy point guard, Blake Anderson as Leroy, Cam’s sober companion, Duby Maduegbunam as newest player Benson, and Aliyah Turner as Zoé Debay, a former child star turning into an A-list actress.
Robert Townsend was originally cast to play veteran basketball coach Norm Stinson. Deadline later reported that Romano would take over the role of the “basketball savant-turned-social recluse” who teams up with Isla to rediscover his love of the game. According to the outlet, the character was “reconceived” and reshoots were in the works.

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.
