Kate Hudson Stars in Netflix Basketball Comedy

Netflix is welcoming you to the family business.

In the trailer for the new series Running Point released Thursday, Kate Hudson stars as Isla Gordon, the new appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball franchise. Being thrown into the job after a scandal forces her brother (Justin Theroux) to resign, Hudson’s Isla has to work on proving her skeptical family, the board and sports community that she is adept for the job.

“I work in a family business for the greatest basketball franchise in the history of the game, the Los Angeles Waves. And this is the story of the fucked-up family that runs it,” Hudson can be overheard saying in the trailer.

Throughout the rest of the teaser, Hudson has to prove herself against the naysayers, some of which describe her as a “Nepo baby” who doesn’t know what she’s doing. Despite the doubts, Husdon’s Isla is determined for the team to make the playoffs and succeed.

“On behalf of all women, don’t ever make a mistake. Looks bad for all of us,” Brenda Strong tells Hudson as she prepares for her new role.

The 10-episode series, which is described as putting a “bold twist on the underdog comedy,” also stars Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis and Max Greenfield.

David Stassen is the showrunner with  Mindy Kaling and Ike Barinholtz joining him as writers and executive producers. Hudson, Howard Klein (3 Arts Entertainment), Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis also exec produce and Jordan Rambis produces.

The series is produced by Mindy Kaling’s Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling is under an overall deal.

Running Point premieres on Netflix on Feb. 27.
