Everything You Need to Know About Running Point Season 2 on Netflix

If you thought the first season of Netflix’s Running Point was a chaotic fast break, buckle up. The Gordon family is back, and based on the fresh footage we’ve been gifted, the front office is about to become a literal crime scene, metaphorically speaking, of course. Kate Hudson’s Isla Gordon is officially trading her "interim" tag for a permanent target on her back, and we at The TV Cave are here for every mid-range jumper and backstabbing board meeting.

The Release Date: Mark Your Calendars

Netflix has finally stopped playing defense and confirmed that Running Point Season 2 will slam dunk onto our screens on Thursday, April 23, 2026. The streamer dropped a high-octane trailer on March 26, giving us exactly one month to process the fact that the Los Angeles Waves are still the most dysfunctional fictional franchise in sports history.

The Trailer: Civil War in the Front Office

The official trailer confirms what we all suspected: blood is definitely not thicker than a championship ring. While Isla is busy trying to modernize the team, her brother Cam (Justin Theroux) is lurking in the shadows like a disgruntled mascot. The teaser hints at a "civil war" for control of the organization, featuring locker room brawls, a collapsing arena ceiling (talk about a metaphor for the budget), and enough side-eye from the coaching staff to power a small city.

New Faces and Veteran Plays

Mind-bogglingly, the cast list for Season 2 reads like a VIP list at the Vanity Fair after-party. Ray Romano joins the roster as Norm Stinson, a "basketball savant" head coach who looks like he’d rather be literally anywhere else. We’re also getting appearances from Octavia Spencer, Lisa Rinna, and Nicole Richie, ensuring the "glamour" of LA is well-represented while the team struggles to hit a free throw.

Meanwhile, Jake Picking joins as Tommy White, the "pretty-boy" point guard who seems more interested in his TikTok engagement than his assist-to-turnover ratio. It’s the kind of casting that makes you wonder if the Waves are a basketball team or a reality show experiment. (Spoiler: it’s both).

What to Expect

With 10 episodes on the horizon, expect the romantic tension between Isla, her ex-fiancé Lev (Max Greenfield), and Coach Jay Brown (Jay Ellis) to reach a boiling point. If the trailer is any indication, Season 2 is doubling down on the sharp, snarky dialogue and the "rich people behaving badly" trope that made the first season such a binge-able disaster.

The Waves might be struggling on the court, but for fans of workplace comedies with a mean streak, Running Point is currently MVP. Stay tuned to The TV Cave for full episodic recaps once the season drops.
