Kate Hudson to star in Mindy Kaling's Netflix comedy series

Mindy Kaling is making a comedy series for Netflix which will star and will be executive produced by Kate Hudson. The series is set in the front office of a professional basketball team, reports suggest. 

The 10-part series was ordered back in 2021. The official logline reads, “When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Hudson) is appointed President of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her sceptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job, especially in the unpredictable, male-dominated world of sports.”

More details about the series' supporting cast are yet to be revealed by the makers. Kaling is also the co-writer and executive producer of the series and will be working with frequent collaborators  Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen. Stassen is also the showrunner of the series. 

Jeanie Buss, president of the Los Angeles Lakers, Lakers executive director Linda Rambis, and Howard Klein of 3 Arts will executive produce along with Hudson.  Warner Bros. Television, under which Kaling and her banner Kaling International are, will be producing the series, along with Jordan Rambis.
