Netflix announced new cast additions who will be joining Season 2 of the hit comedy series, Running Point. When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job. From the hitmaking team of Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, Running Point puts a bold twist on the underdog comedy. The 10-episode series also stars Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, Max Greenfield and Justin Theroux.
Robert Townsend (The Bear, Before) plays “Norm Stinson” – An excellent (and grouchy) veteran basketball coach who knows how to get the best out of his teams, but not always how to communicate.
Ken Marino (The Residence, The Other Two) plays “Al Fleischman” – The self-appointed “toilet king of Orange County” who wants better courtside seats to the Los Angeles Waves.
Tommy Dewey (Casual, Saturday Night) plays “Magnus” – The general manager of the Toronto Trappers.
Richa Moorjani (Never Have I Ever, Fargo) plays “Aruna” – The Los Angeles Waves’ incredibly blunt star accountant who can finagle her way around any number of financial hurdles.
Jake Picking (Top Gun: Maverick, Hollywood) plays “Tommy White” – The Los Angeles Waves’ new pretty-boy star point guard.
Blake Anderson (Workaholics, Game Over, Man!) plays “Leroy” – Cam’s wild, sober companion.
Duby Maduegbunam (Caught Up, Sistas) plays “Benson” – The newest basketball player on the Los Angeles Waves.
