Netflix has officially renewed Running Point for Season 3. The Kate Hudson-led comedy series will continue following the success of its first two seasons on the streamer.
The renewal comes after Running Point became one of Netflix’s strongest comedy performers globally, with the series surpassing 60 million views across its first two seasons.
The Running Point Season 3 renewal keeps the sports comedy firmly in Netflix’s lineup as the series continues production in Los Angeles. According to Netflix, Season 1 reached #1 on the Global Top 10 following its February 2025 debut and appeared in the Top 10 in 89 countries. Season 2 also debuted on the Global Top 10 and has remained on the chart since release, while bringing the first season back into Netflix’s rankings.
Netflix Confirms Another Season for the Kate Hudson Comedy
Netflix announced the renewal alongside updated viewing numbers for the series.
According to the streamer, Running Point ranked among Netflix’s top 15 shows worldwide during the first half of 2025. The return of Season 2 helped push the combined viewership for the first two seasons past 60 million views.
The comedy stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, who runs the fictional Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise while balancing family tensions, business pressure, and public scrutiny.
Netflix also confirmed that production on Season 3 will continue in Los Angeles. The show joins several other Netflix productions currently filming in the city, including The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, Nobody Wants This Season 3, Forever Season 2, A Man on the Inside Season 3, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, and Ben Affleck’s upcoming film Animals.
What Is Running Point About?
The series follows Isla Gordon after she unexpectedly takes control of the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise.
According to Netflix’s Season 2 synopsis, Isla is no longer viewed as a temporary replacement for her brother Cam, played by Justin Theroux. Instead, she becomes the central figure everyone is watching as the franchise attempts to recover from the fallout of the previous season’s scandal.
At the same time, Cam quietly works behind the scenes to regain control of the organization, turning Isla’s mistakes into leverage.
Netflix describes Season 2 as raising the stakes around the Gordon family while expanding the workplace comedy and sports-world pressure surrounding the team.
