The second season of Running Point dropped on Netflix on April 23, 2026. Fans have already finished all 10 episodes. Now the big question remains: will there be more?
The comedy stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a former party girl who becomes president of her family’s basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. The show comes from executive producer Mindy Kaling and has built a strong following since its launch in February 2025. The second season ended with major surprises, leaving the story open for additional episodes.
But Netflix has not given the green light for Running Point Season 3 yet. Here is everything we know about the show’s current status and what could happen next.
No Renewal or Cancellation Announced for Third Season
Right now, Running Point Season 3 sits in a common spot for streaming shows. Netflix has neither canceled the series nor ordered new episodes. The third season’s future remains unconfirmed.
This situation is normal given that season 2 just premiered. Streaming services usually wait several weeks or even months before making renewal choices. They look at viewership numbers, how many people finish the season, and social media buzz.
Running Point has a good track record. After its first season came out in February 2025, Netflix quickly renewed the show for a second season about a week later. This fast decision showed the streaming platform believed in the series. But a season 3 renewal is not automatic. Netflix will watch how season 2 performs before deciding.
Season 2 Finale Sets Up Major Conflicts for Another Season
The second season’s ending leaves plenty of material for more episodes. The Los Angeles Waves finally win the ABL championship, giving Isla her first big victory as team president. But the celebration does not last long.
The next morning, Isla’s brother Cam (played by Justin Theroux) and Al Fleischman (Ken Marino) announce they have bought a rival team called the LA Industry. They plan to make it the best team in Los Angeles. To make things worse, they have hired Jay Brown (Jay Ellis) as head coach and part owner.
This move feels like a betrayal to Isla. Jay spent much of season 2 helping her and the two developed a romance. Now he is working with Cam, who has tried to undermine Isla at every turn. If the show returns for a third season, their relationship will likely face serious problems.
The setup creates a strong rivalry. Cam knows how to build winning teams from his time running the Waves. Jay understands all of Isla’s strategies and weaknesses. Together they pose a real threat to the Waves’ success.
Showrunner Remains Optimistic About Renewal
David Stassen, the showrunner, shared some positive news with The Hollywood Reporter. He said Netflix has not officially picked up season 3 yet, but everyone is optimistic. Season one did very well, and Netflix has already shown faith by ordering the writers room for a potential season three. So everyone is feeling good about the chances.
This is a common practice for streaming services. They sometimes ask writers to start planning new episodes before making the final financial decision. It helps shows keep their key people available and ready to work.
Cast Expected to Return if Show Gets Renewed
No official cast announcements exist for Running Point Season 3 because the season has not been confirmed. But if Netflix renews the show, most main cast members would likely return.
Kate Hudson would come back as Isla Gordon. Other expected returning actors include Brenda Song as Ali, Drew Tarver as Sandy, Scott MacArthur as Ness, and Fabrizio Guido as Jackie.
Justin Theroux would likely return as Cam Gordon, the main antagonist. Jay Ellis would probably come back as Jay Brown, though his character’s alliance with Cam could change his role. Toby Sandeman as Marcus, Chet Hanks as Travis, and Uche Agada as Dyson would also likely reappear.
Scott Speedman joined season 2 as Luke McShay, a character set up for a romance with Isla. He would probably have a bigger part in a third season. Ray Romano as Coach Norm would also return to guide the team through tough times.
Some characters might not come back. Max Greenfield as Lev and Scott Evans as Charlie finished their story arcs in season 2. Their absence would make room for new faces.
Possible Release Timeline for Potential Third Season
Netflix has not announced a release date for Running Point Season 3 because the season has not been ordered yet. But looking at the gap between previous seasons gives some clues.
The first season came out in February 2025. Netflix renewed the show for season 2 in March 2025. The second season then arrived on April 23, 2026. That means about 14 months passed between seasons.
If Netflix renews Running Point Season 3 soon, fans could expect new episodes sometime in the first half of 2027. A third season would likely have 10 episodes, matching the first two seasons.
No trailer exists for a third season because the show has not been renewed and filming has not started.

Show’s Popularity Helps Its Chances
Running Point has performed well with both critics and audiences. The show holds solid ratings on review sites, which helps its case for renewal.
Kate Hudson called this her first regular TV role, generating extra interest. The combination of family drama, workplace comedy, and sports setting has attracted a loyal viewer base.
Mindy Kaling, one of the show’s creators, previously expressed surprise and happiness about how well audiences received the series. The creative team clearly has more stories to tell, especially after setting up the Cam-Jay alliance against Isla.
Netflix tends to keep comedies that draw consistent viewers. Running Point fits the platform’s catalog of workplace comedies with strong female leads. Its performance in the coming weeks will determine whether it gets a third season.
The second season of Running Point is now streaming on Netflix.
