Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming journey into the world of professional basketball with Netflix’s upcoming series, “Running Point.”
This highly anticipated comedy, created by the talented Mindy Kaling, features Kate Hudson in a leading role and promises to be a refreshing take on leadership and defying expectations. With the previous shows that Mindy Kaling has created, it seems like this one would stand out too.
If you are excited to watch Running Point Season 1 and want to unveil more details about the show’s return, you have come to the right place.
When is Running Point Season 1 Releasing?
While “Running Point” has generated significant buzz, Netflix hasn’t revealed an official release date yet. The series was initially announced in 2021 and filming wrapped up in May 2024. With post-production underway, we can expect an announcement soon.
Keep an eye out on Netflix’s official channels for updates, and it’s likely to arrive sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.
Despite the initial buzz surrounding the show’s release, the lack of updates has left most of the fans quite upset. However, given that the show has been confirmed to be released, it is only a matter of time before we get to know about the release date of the first season.
What can we expect from Running Point Season 1?
“Running Point” centres around Isla Gordon (played by Kate Hudson), a woman who has been consistently underestimated throughout her life. However, the tables turn dramatically when a scandal forces her brother to step down as president of the Los Angeles Waves, a legendary professional basketball team that also happens to be a family business. Thrust into the spotlight, Isla is appointed as the new president.
This unexpected promotion throws Isla into a whirlwind. She must navigate a world dominated by men and prove her worth to a sceptical board, her brothers, and the entire sports community. But Isla is far from outmatched. She’s driven, intelligent, and possesses a strong understanding of the game, despite being overlooked for so long.
The series delves into the challenges Isla faces as she attempts to lead the LA Waves to success. We’ll see her navigate player egos, draft-day drama, and the cutthroat world of team ownership. But “Running Point” isn’t just about basketball. It’s a story about defying expectations, embracing your strengths, and proving yourself in a world that might not be ready for you.
Expect a healthy dose of humour as Isla clashes with authority figures, mentors young players, and maybe even finds a love interest along the way. These are all the plot outlines that have been teased about by the showrunners, creators and the online platforms as well.
