Mindy Kaling’s Running Point is picking up speed: Season 2 has wrapped in Los Angeles and, per reports, is on track to hit Netflix next year after the comedy’s buzzy February debut.

Quick update on Netflix's sports comedy 'Running Point': Season 2 is officially in the can, and the current chatter points to a spring 2026 drop — possibly April — though Netflix has not put a date on it yet.

Season 2 status at a glance

  • Filming: Shot in Los Angeles from August 2025 through November 5, wrapping slightly ahead of schedule. Actor Demetrius Perkins confirmed the wrap with photos from the cast party.
  • Release window: Post-production is underway right now. Industry tracker What's on Netflix says it could land as early as April 2026. No official premiere date from Netflix yet.
  • Budget: Reportedly $3–$5 million per episode — a tidy sum for a half-hour comedy, if you like production-nerd details.
  • Returning cast: Kate Hudson, Drew Tarver, Brenda Song, and Scott MacArthur are back, with more familiar faces expected.
  • Creators: Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen continue to steer the show.
  • Renewal history: Netflix renewed the series just one week after it debuted, thanks to strong viewing and a quick audience embrace.

Quick refresher on the show

Season 1 arrived in February 2025 and quickly turned into one of Netflix's most-watched original comedies. The series follows Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), who unexpectedly ends up running her family's pro basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, after her brother heads to rehab. The first season is basically Isla trying to prove she belongs in a locker room and boardroom that were not built with her in mind.

So when can we actually watch?

With cameras down since early November and post already in motion, a spring 2026 return tracks with Netflix's typical turnaround, and April feels like a realistic target. That said, it's all unofficial until Netflix says so. If you're keeping it on your calendar, pencil, don't pen.
