Running Point is a loose take on the Buss family owning the LA Lakers, starring Kate Hudson. It had a successful first season, and it was immediately picked up for a second one. But we have not heard much about that since then.
Today, Netflix announced that it will debut next month, and they dropped the first trailer. It looks like it’s so much more wild and funnier than the first season. So I am here for it because the first season made me want to go to a basketball game and see if the fiction was as good as the reality.
What can we expect from S2? Isla Gordon (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 (Justin 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.
Running Point begins streaming on April 23rd, and you can watch S1 to prepare for it.
