What Is Running Point Season 2 About?
The official synopsis reads: “Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is no longer the surprise choice to lead the Los Angeles Waves, she’s the one everyone is watching. With the franchise finally rebounding after last year’s scandal, Isla is determined to prove she’s not just keeping the seat warm for her brother Cam (Justin Theroux). What she doesn’t know is that Cam is quietly maneuvering behind the scenes to reclaim his post, turning every misstep into ammunition. As she tries to balance the pressure of running a franchise with devoting time to her personal life, every decision on and off the court counts. To survive the family power plays and the scrutiny of the board, she’ll have to rip up last season’s game plan and come up with a whole new playbook if she wants to close out the season on top. From executive producers Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, season two of Running Point raises the stakes, deepens the family drama, and finds even more comedy in what it takes to run a modern sports empire.”
How Did Running Point Season 1 End? A Refresher
In the Running Point Season 1 finale, Isla leads the LA Waves to Game 7 of the playoffs, a huge feat for her first season as team president, but they unfortunately lose in heartbreaking fashion.
Her engagement to Lev hits a hard patch, and as he moves to Minnesota, Isla shares a kiss with Coach Jay. The chemistry was bubbling up to it all season!
Isla makes meaningful moves with her brothers, including half-brother Jackie, throughout the first season; however, all that’s put to risk as, following the playoff loss, she finds her older brother, Cam Gordon, back in the office, reclaiming leadership of the Waves after his rehab stint. Who will run the team moving forward, especially as Isla has proven that she’s the heart and soul and more than qualified?
