The story of Isla Gordon's unexpected ascent to the presidency of the Los Angeles Waves in Season 1 was just the beginning; the real test of her leadership lies in the chaotic, high-stakes drama of professional basketball yet to come. With a new coach, fresh talent, and even more outlandish front-office personalities joining the court, Season 2 of Running Point promises to deliver deeper humor, sharper challenges, and surprisingly profound examinations of modern sports ownership.

The Waves' playoff run brought unexpected success, but the return of one particular charachter ensures the drama moves to the executive offices.

Season two of Running Point is set to tackle the shocking return of Cam Gordon, Isla’s older brother, who reappears from rehab ready to reclaim the presidency of the Los Angeles Waves. Isla’s effective leadership has brought the team its best season in five years, setting up a Gordon versus Gordon power struggle for control of the family business.

This conflict will intensify as Isla discovers Cam was the one leaking damaging rumors to the press during her tenure. Beyond the office, Isla’s love life remains complicated after the season one finale kiss with Coach Jay Brown, who may still accept a coaching job in Boston.

Isla must navigate the emotional fallout with her supportive ex-fiancé, Lev, while determining if her professional relationship with Jay can withstand a potential workplace romance.

The returning main actors are joined by new characters set to shake up the team's professional and financial world.

According to Netflix Tudum, the core cast is confirmed to return, including Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, Brenda Song as Ali Lee, and Drew Tarver and Scott MacArthur as Isla’s scheming brothers. Justin Theroux as Cam Gordon and Uche Agada as Dyson Gibbs have been upgraded to series regulars, ensuring their storylines are central to the new season.

The return of series regulars, including the Gordon siblings, is now complicated by the addition of Ray Romano as the veteran coach Norm Stinson and Jake Picking as the team's charming new point guard, Tommy White. Fan-favorite guest stars, including Max Greenfield as Lev Levenson and much-anticipated Jay Ellis as Coach Jay Brown, are also confirmed to return.

After a successful first run, the wait for the Los Angeles Waves to return to the court will be a short one.

Following the massive global success of the first season, Netflix quickly renewed Running Point and accelerated the production schedule. Filming wrapped ahead of schedule in November 2025, positioning the series for a fast turnaround. Although an exact date is not yet confirmed, Netflix is reportedly aiming for a spring 2026 premiere.
