The Kate Hudson sports comedy Running Point is back with season 2, and it’s just as charming as you remember. In fact, it’s the perfect watch for a lazy weekend, when all you want to do is relax and laugh out loud at the shenanigans on screen.
If you decide to tune in, you’re not alone. With 5.3 million views in its first week, the comedy is currently the second most-watched show on Netflix, as well as the #1 show in three countries. Does this mean we should expect a season 3?
Running Point Season 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix is yet to renew the show for more episodes. The platform occasionally waits a while before deciding either way in order to assess viewership. Since the second season debuted recently, all we can do for now is wait and see.
As long as it gets the green light, Running Point season 3 could arrive in early 2027.

What Is Running Point About?
Running Point is set in the world of professional basketball and mixes workplace chaos with family drama.
The story follows Isla, a former party girl who becomes president of the Los Angeles Waves, her family’s struggling basketball franchise. Thrust into leadership after her brother’s scandal, she must prove that she’s capable of running a major team. It doesn’t help that Isla’s brothers often undermine her authority. Thankfully, interference only makes her want to succeed.
In season 2, brother Cam is back in the picture, claiming he wants to help. That said, he quickly proves more devious than anyone expected. Add romantic uncertainty and team struggles into the mix, and the stakes are high for both Isla and the Waves.
Luckily, there are plenty of celebrity cameos and funny one-lines to keep things light. By the time the finale wraps up, Isla hopes better days are coming, before encountering fresh twists.
Running Point season 3 will likely pick up from there, tracking how Isla deals with new rivals. Her romantic life will also be tested, so we can’t wait to see whether she comes out on top.
