Season 2 of Running Point brings in several new faces as Isla Gordon, played by Kate Hudson, prepares for another season leading the Los Angeles Waves. After a playoff loss in season 1, the team is focused on winning a championship.
The show premiered Thursday (23) on Netflix. An interesting fact is that one episode title, "ET TU, CAM?", nods to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to spotlight the brewing betrayal by Isla Gordon's brother Cam, who returns from rehab aiming to reclaim control of the LA Waves basketball team, echoing the season 1 cliffhanger. This family drama amps up the power struggles in the Kate Hudson-led comedy.
Here’s a complete list of new cast members joining the show:
Ray Romano as Norm Stinson
Romano plays Norm Stinson, a socially awkward basketball expert who becomes the Waves’ new head coach. Isla chooses him over a more popular candidate, believing in his strategy despite doubts. “Oh, I love him! He is so wonderful,” Hudson said. “We are so lucky to have him and we are having a great time.”
