delivering captivating content. The streaming giant has gifted viewers with hit
series like Adolescence, Ransom Canyon, and Untamed,
proving its commitment to keeping audiences engrossed. Among these triumphs,
the hilarious and heartwarming comedy Running Point, from the creative
mind of Mindy Kaling, has emerged as a fan favorite, and more importantly, a multi-season mogul.

The much-anticipated second season of Running Point
is officially in production, with cameras rolling in Los Angeles. The show’s
creators, Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, were hard at work in
the writers’ room to craft the new season, and on August 15, Netflix confirmed
that filming had begun. The news was shared with a selfie on Netflix’s X account showing Kate
Hudson, who was joined by fellow cast members Brenda Song, Justin Theroux,
Scott MacArthur, Drew Tarver, and Fabrizio Guido. According to the Film &
Television Industry Alliance, filming for the new season began on August 11 and
is scheduled to wrap by November 2025.
With the three-month production schedule and the show’s
instant popularity, viewers might not have to wait a full year for new
episodes. The series is predicted to premiere on Netflix in late spring or
early summer 2026, with many anticipating a release as early as April or May. The
swift production turnaround suggests that Netflix is keen to get the hit comedy
back on screens as soon as possible, providing audiences with more of the witty
humor and compelling characters they love, especially after Jay Ellis
previously dropped a hopeful crumb of information.
Among the many assets that the show had were the cliffhangers that ensured Running Point has you locked by the knee, setting the stage for a dramatic second season.
Running Point’s stronger second era
The first season of Running Point concluded with a mix of professional and
personal drama. Isla, despite her team’s loss in the playoffs, earned a moral
victory for reviving the Los Angeles Waves franchise. However, her brother,
Cam, who was actively sabotaging her, returned and expressed his desire to
reclaim his position as the Waves president. Adding to her troubles, Isla’s
personal life got complicated when she tried to win back Lev but ended up
kissing Jay.
