Here's a comprehensive look at all the confirmed details about Running Point season 2.
What Is Running Point About?
Running Point stars rom-com icon Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, the first female president of a fictional NBA team, the Los Angeles Waves. The show follows Isla as she steps into the role after her brother resigns to enter rehab, navigating the challenges with help from her family and friends. The first season ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter.
Who Stars in Running Point Season 2?
The core cast is returning, with Kate Hudson leading as Isla Gordon. She is joined by Drew Tarver as her younger brother Sandy, Scott MacArthur as older brother Ness, and Brenda Song as her best friend and Chief of Staff, Ali Lee. Justin Theroux, who recurred in season one, is now a main cast member as Isla's eldest brother Cam. Other returning actors include Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, and Uche Agada, with the latter promoted to series regular.
Newcomers for season two feature Ray Romano as new coach Norm Stinson and Ken Marino as toilet entrepreneur Al Fleischman.
