The Los Angeles Waves are back in action. Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of its hit comedy series Running Point, giving fans a look at what happens next for Kate Hudson‘s character, Isla Gordon. The show returns on April 23, 2026, with new episodes that bring more family conflict, high-stakes business decisions, and a list of notable guest stars.
The first season introduced viewers to Isla, who stepped in as president of her family’s basketball franchise after her brother Cam’s public scandal. Season 2 picks up with Isla no longer seen as a temporary fill-in. She now faces the challenge of proving she belongs in the role while her brother works to take it back.
Cam’s Return Creates New Problems for Isla
The trailer shows Justin Theroux’s character, Cam, quietly planning his return to power. He watches Isla’s every move, looking for any mistake he can use against her. This family power struggle sits at the center of the new season.
The official description from Netflix explains the situation clearly: Isla is determined to show she is not just keeping the seat warm for her brother. But Cam is working behind the scenes to reclaim his position. Every wrong step becomes a weapon in his hands.
The show’s creators, Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, continue to mix workplace comedy with family drama. The new season promises more pressure on Isla as she handles running a professional sports team and managing her personal life at the same time.
Octavia Spencer, Lisa Rinna and Nicole Richie Join the Cast
The Season 2 trailer also shows off a strong list of new guest stars joining the show. Octavia Spencer makes an appearance, along with Lisa Rinna (playing herself), Nicole Richie, and Scott Speedman. Co-creator Ike Barinholtz also appears as a family member named Bennie.
The returning cast includes many familiar faces. Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, and Uche Agada are all back. Jay Ellis and Max Greenfield also return as romantic interests for Isla’s character. Ray Romano joins the recurring cast as the Waves’ new head coach.
Other new recurring cast members for Season 2 include Robert Townsend, Ken Marino, Tommy Dewey, Richa Moorjani, Jake Picking, and Blake Anderson.
