The trailer for Running Point, Netflix's upcoming sports-comedy series starring Kate Hudson, was unveiled on Thursday. Created by Mindy Kaling, the series is all set to premiere on February 27.
The official logline of the 10-part series reads, “When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon 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.”
Hudson plays Isla Gordan in Running Point, which also stars Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Max Greenfield, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, and Jay Ellis, among others.
Kaling is also the co-writer and executive producer of Running Point and will be working with frequent collaborators Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen. Stassen is also the showrunner of the series.
President of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jeanie Buss; Lakers executive director, Linda Rambis; and 3 Arts' Howard Klein will also executive produce Running Point along with Hudson. Warner Bros. Television, under which Kaling and her banner, Kaling International, are, will be producing the series, along with Jordan Rambis.
