The team behind The Mindy Project is returning for a new Netflix series set in the world of Basketball. Set to be one of Netflix’s biggest new comedies for 2025, Running Point is scheduled to arrive on our screens on February 27th, 2025. Here’s everything you need to know about the new 10-episode series. 

Running Point has been a long time coming, having first been announced to be in development back in June 2021. Elaine Ko was initially attached to the project, although she was later replaced with David Stassen, best known for his work on The Mindy Project, Central Intelligence, and Maximum Truth. Stassen serves as a showrunner alongside Ike Barinholtz and Mindy Kaling. Additional writers on the series include Grace Edwards, Joe Mande, Akshara Sekar, Brandon Childs, Michael Rodriguez, Michael Chung, and Bronson Diallo. 

The 10-episode series sees Netflix reteaming with Kaling, who works at Warner Bros. Television under an overall deal. Their previous project together was the smash-hit series Never Have I Ever.

It wasn’t until January 2024 that we got our following significant updates. Kate Hudson joined the project in January 2024, and the additional cast was unveiled at the end of February. Filming would then kick off in Los Angeles soon after, the project started production in late February 2024 and wrapped up on May 17th. James Ponsoldt directed the first two episodes.

In May 2024, at the Netflix Upfronts, we received three first-look images of the series and the news that it would premiere in 2025. Of course, we know that Netflix will premiere the series on Thursday, February 27th.


What to Expect from Running Point on Netflix

“When a scandal forces her brother to resign,” reads the logline, “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 skeptical 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.”

No, it’s intended to run for multiple seasons. Speaking to Variety, Hudson said, “I hope it works. I hope we do four seasons. You know, I’ve never felt that way before,” adding, “The goal is just to make people feel good and laugh, and there’s so much funny stuff in there, so hopefully, it translates.”


Kate Hudson, Howard Klein, Jeanie Buss, and Linda Rambis serve as executive producers on the project. Jordan Rambis will produce. 3 Arts Entertainment, Kaling International, The Fusion Medi, and Warner Bros. Television are behind the show.
