Are the Los Angeles Waves ready for a new president? “Running Point” follows Isla Gordon as she takes on a male dominated world as well as her family’s legacy. The Netflix comedy series features two executive producers all too familiar with the subject — Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis. Buss is president and co-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, while Rambis serves as the team’s manager of special projects. “Running Point” hails from writers Mindy Kaling, David Stassen, and Ike Barinholtz. Stassen is also the showrunner of the project.

When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business.
