Production

Development

In June 2021, it was announced that Netflix had given a straight-to-series order to an untitled Los Angeles Lakers themed comedy series created by Mindy Kaling. The Los Angeles Lakers controlling owner and president, Jeanie Buss, will co-executive produce the series with Kaling.[7] The series was initially going to be written, executive produced, and showrun by Elaine Ko.[7]

In January 2024, it was reported that the series had a new creative team, with Ko leaving the series, and Kaling now co-writing and executive producing the series with Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen.[8] Stassen will also serve as the series showrunner.[8] In May 2024, the untitled series was given the name, Running Point.[9] The series is executive produced by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen, Jeanie Buss, Linda Rambis, Howard Klein, and Kate Hudson, and produced by Jordan Rambis.[9] Production companies involved with the series are Kaling's Kaling International, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television Studios.[9] In March 2025, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[3]

Casting

In January 2024, it was announced that Kate Hudson had joined the series as the protagonist, Isla Gordon, and also as an executive producer.[8] In February 2024, it was announced that Brenda Song had joined the series as Ali Lee, Drew Tarver as Sandy Gordon, and Scott MacArthur as Ness Gordon.[10] Also in February 2024, it was announced that Chet Hanks had joined the series as Travis Bugg, Keyla Monterroso Mejia as Ana Moreno, Fabrizio Guido as Jackie Moreno, Toby Sandeman as Marcus Winfield, and Roberto Sanchez as Stephen Ramirez.[11]

In March 2024, it was announced that Max Greenfield had joined the series as Lev Levenson, Dane DiLiegro as Badrag Knauss, and Uche Agada as Dyson Gibbs.[12] In May 2024, Jay Ellis joined the series as Jay Brown.[13] In June 2024, Scott Evans joined the series as Charlie.[14] In September 2025, it was reported that Robert Townsend was cast as Norm Stinson, Ken Marino as Al Fleischman, Tommy Dewey as Magnus, Richa Moorjani as Aruna, Jake Picking as Tommy White, Blake Anderson as Leroy, Duby Maduegbunam as Benson, and Aliyah Turner as Zoé Debay while Justin Theroux and Uche Agada were promoted as series regulars for the second season.[5] In October 2025, Ray Romano joined the cast in a recasting, replacing Townsend.[6]

Filming

The series began filming in February 2024, in Los Angeles.[15] The outside of the Los Angeles Waves basketball stadium is the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.[16] During filming, Song's husband Macaulay Culkin visited the set and decided to cameo in the background. As the script had a heckler character, Culkin was invited to play him.[17]

In February 2025, Pepperdine University sued Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery for alleged trademark infringement. The university claimed that the TV series used their team's logo, the Waves.[18] Pepperdine University also accused Running Point for the use of their "basketball team's colors, orange and blue", highlighting the number 37 of a fictional player (number 37 also being synonymous to Pepperdine athletics), in addition to other similarities.[19]
