Running Point (2025)

‘Running Point’ Sees Kate Hudson in a Basketball Comedy Series That Shoots and Sometimes Scores. Hudson plays the daughter of a basketball franchise owner suddenly thrust into managing it, loosely inspired by L.A. Lakers president Jeanie Buss. Arriving on Netflix on February 27th, ‘Running Point’ is a sprightly new comedy created by David Stassen, Ike Barinholtz and Mindy Kaling, with Stassen serving as showrunner.

Inspired by Jeannie Buss, who took over running the L.A. Lakers basketball organization following her father’s death (the fact that Buss is an executive producer here should be a clue –- though that’s more of a contractual title than a creative one), it sees Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, who is thrust into the tough job of taking over running the fictional LA Waves team.
