Production on the second season of the popular show, Running Point, is officially on the calendar. According to a report from What’s on Netflix, the hit series is set to start filming season 2 on August 11, 2025, returning to its Los Angeles home base. Shooting is expected to continue through November 20. The series was approved for a second season just a week after its debut on February 27, following strong viewership worldwide.
What’s on Netflix reports that Running Point spent five weeks in the global Top 10 and was watched for over 168 million hours across 89 countries.
Kaling and Hudson are back, along with the full team
Co-creator and executive producer Mindy Kaling said earlier this year that the team was overwhelmed by the fan response. “We still cannot believe the reaction,” she shared in a statement after the renewal was announced in March. She also gave credit to the cast, led by Kate Hudson, and executive producers Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis.
Hudson will reprise her lead role, and most of the original cast is expected to return, including Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, and Chet Hanks. Production is being handled again by Warner Bros. Television, with the budget reportedly in the $30 million to $50 million range per season.
Will Running Point stream this year
While fans might be hoping for a late 2025 drop, that timeline isn’t realistic. Based on the production window, post-production will stretch into early next year. What’s on Netflix suggests an April 2026 release is likely if things stay on track.

Schedules this far out are always subject to change. Delays are always possible. Still, with filming locked in and most of the cast returning, it looks like Netflix is moving forward on schedule.
More updates should be expected this fall, as What’s on Netflix is also preparing a full preview of Netflix’s upcoming production slate.
