Will ‘Running Point’ return for Season 3? What we know so far about Kate Hudson’s Netflix sports comedy
Netflix has brought ‘Running Point’ back into the game, and Season 2 is already creating a buzz among viewers who missed its sports drama and offbeat humor. The series, led by Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, picks up with her still trying to prove she belongs at the top of the L.A. Waves organization. Once known more for her wild lifestyle than boardroom decisions, Isla is now attempting to turn a new leaf. That sounds easier than it actually is. That’s because her brother Cam (Justin Theroux) is never too far away, pulling strings behind the scenes. Season 2 landed on Netflix on April 23, and if early reactions are anything to go by, the show hasn’t lost its spark.
Viewers who enjoyed the messy, unpredictable energy of Season 1 will likely find more of the same here, but with higher stakes. Of course, whenever a new season drops, the same question starts making the rounds: What comes next? Fans are already looking beyond the newly released episodes and wondering if the series will stick around for a third run. As of now, there’s no official green light for Season 3. Netflix hasn’t confirmed anything yet, which isn’t unusual. Decisions like these often take a bit of time, especially when a season has just premiered, and viewership numbers are still rolling in. However, there are a few hints that suggest the story might not be ending anytime soon.
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner David Stassen shared a cautiously hopeful update. He explained that while there’s no formal renewal, the creative team is already preparing for what could come next. According to him, “Netflix hasn’t officially picked up Season 3 yet, but everyone is optimistic. Season 1 did very well, and Netflix has already shown a lot of faith by ordering the writers’ room for a potential Season 3. So everyone is feeling good.” While that doesn’t guarantee anything, it highlights that the team behind the series is thinking ahead rather than wrapping things up.
Moreover, the quick turnaround between Season 1 and Season 2 is another encouraging sign. The show was renewed for its second outing in March 2025, only days after its debut season hit the platform. That kind of quick decision usually means executives see potential worth investing in. Looking at the timeline, Season 2's April release leaves a reasonable window for a Season 3 announcement later this year. If that happens, a 2027 release doesn’t sound far-fetched. For now, though, everything hinges on how Season 2 performs over the next few weeks. Viewership numbers, completion rates, and general buzz all play a role in shaping what happens next. If the show manages to keep the audience hooked, the chances of seeing Isla Gordon in action again will only go up.
