Kate Hudson, 46, Returns to the Court: First Look at ‘Running Point’ Season 2 Revealed
Kate Hudson is back on Netflix for the second season of Running Point, and the first photos have just been released. The show, executive produced by Mindy Kaling, returns on April 23 with Hudson reprising her role as Isla Gordon.
In season two, Isla is no longer the unexpected choice leading the Los Angeles Waves—she’s the center of attention. The team has recovered from last season’s scandal, and Isla wants to show she’s not just filling in for her brother, Cam, played by Justin Theroux. But Cam is quietly working behind the scenes to take back his position, turning Isla’s every mistake into an opportunity to undermine her.
As the season unfolds, Isla has to juggle running a professional sports team while managing her personal life. Every choice, on and off the court, has consequences. The show promises bigger stakes, more family drama, and plenty of humor about what it takes to run a modern sports franchise. Executive producers Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen are all back for this season.
