Comedy series Running Point, headlined by Kate Hudson is heading for a second season. This update comes just a week after the release of the first season which has garnered positive reviews.

Overwhelmed by the love the show received, co-creator and executive producer Mindy Kaling said, "We are so thrilled to be able to deliver a Season 2 of Running Point to the fans of the show. We still cannot believe the response from audiences – thank you to everyone who has watched!"

In Running Point, Hudson stars as Isla Gordon, the newly appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise. Being thrown into the job after a scandal forces her brother (Justin Theroux) to resign, Kate’s character has to work on proving to her sceptical family, board members, and the sports community that she is the perfect fit for the job.

Apart from Hudson, the series also starred Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, Max Greenfield, Justin Theroux, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Roberto Sanchez, Uche Agada and Dane DiLiegro.

The film is also written by Kaling, Barinholtz and David Stassen. Mindy Kaling produces under her Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling is under an overall deal. Stassen serves as the showrunner.
