Kate Hudson is returning to our screens in Running Point, Netflix’s newest TV series about love and basketball (a classic combination). And on January 31 we got a brand-new trailer to obsess over.
The 10-episode series, executive produced and cowritten by Mindy Kaling, tells the story of an “overlooked” woman (Hudson) who takes over her family’s business, a fictional basketball franchise called the Los Angeles Waves, after her brother (Justin Theroux) is forced to resign amid a scandal.
She must prove herself to the sports world, her family, and all those who doubt her that she can step up to the job. Here’s everything else we know so far about Running Point.
What’s the Running Point plot?
Netflix’s plot synopsis reads as follows: “When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Kate 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 skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job. Over the course of the series, she sets out to do just that.”
