The popular sports comedy Running Point, featuring Kate Hudson and Brenda Song, is now trending higher on Netflix UK after the premiere of its second season.
In the show, Hudson plays Isla Gordon, a woman trying to turn her life around. Her family gives her an incredible opportunity: running a basketball team in Los Angeles. However, she quickly discovers it’s much harder than she expected.
The show’s second season premiered last month on April 23rd, and early viewership numbers suggest it’s been a hit with audiences after its initial release in 2025.
According to FlixPatrol, the comedy is currently the second most popular show on the streaming platform globally, trailing only Unchosen. While it’s not as big of a hit in the UK, it still ranks at Number Five there.
Critics have generally praised Running Point, giving it an overall approval rating of 84% on Rotten Tomatoes across its two seasons. Season one received a score of 79%, and season two was even better, earning an 89% rating.

Decider praised the show’s second season, saying it found a comfortable and funny rhythm, and highlighted the strong chemistry within the cast, as well as the seamless integration of new actors. Screen Rant specifically called star Hudson ‘phenomenal’.
According to Multiverse of Color, Running Point is a reliably funny and enjoyable show – the kind you can watch to relax and easily become invested in the characters. If you weren’t completely sold after the first season, they recommend giving it another try.
Also praising the show, The AU Review noted that while the first season demonstrated the show’s potential, the second season, Running Point, proves it’s a series with lasting appeal and a promising future.
Collider praised season two of Running Point, noting that while it’s not perfect, it maintains the show’s success thanks to strong performances from the actors and clever writing. They hope Netflix renews the series for a third season, given the exciting cliffhanger ending.
The series stars Hudson and Song—who plays Ali Lee, the Chief of Staff—along with Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, and Justin Theroux.
