Running Point

Mindy Kaling’s latest venture into the high-stakes world of professional basketball is currently navigating the intricate waters of post-production. Set against the backdrop of the fictional Los Angeles Waves, the series stars Kate Hudson as a woman thrust into the presidency of a legendary NBA franchise. The production successfully wrapped principal photography earlier this year, shifting focus toward the sharp comedic timing and editorial polish required for its Netflix debut. This prestige comedy aims to blend corporate maneuvering with the raw, kinetic energy of the hardwood court, promising a sophisticated look at sports management.

Behind the scenes, the creative team is fine-tuning the balance between locker room drama and boardroom politics. With Kaling’s signature wit and Hudson’s magnetic lead performance, the industry expects a polished, high-gloss finish that aligns perfectly with the upcoming basketball season’s peak cultural relevance.
