Running Point, the Netflix sports comedy that had fans buzzing about Season 3, has been estimated at this point. Currently, while it has not been renewed for a 3rd season, the optimism of the fans remains quite high.
As of April 2026, Netflix has not made an official announcement regarding Running Point’s being presented a “greenlight” for Season 3. However, this has not stopped the streaming service from moving forward with establishing a writers’ room as of now, demonstrating strong confidence from its internal group. David Stassen, the showrunner of the series, has indicated through a post-Season 2 interview that there has not been a formal announcement regarding a Season 3; however, he and the entire creative team are feeling very positive about the series’ potential future.
So far, Season 2 began airing on April 23rd, 2026, approximately one week after the Season 2 premiere, and became the number 1 title on Netflix’s global chart the week of premiere. Running Point stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, the president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team, and has enjoyed a high level of viewership since premiering in February 2025, therefore, it may be an advantage for the series to have its production costs low as there is relative to that of a half-hour long comedy (such as Running Point) and therefore, may have an added advantage in making a renewal request.
If Netflix were to approve the production of Running Point Season 3, production efforts could potentially lead to a release date by mid-to-late 2027 due to the approximated 14-month duration between the previous two seasons of the series. Currently, cast members have yet to be confirmed for the next season, but the most likely cast members for the next season will include Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, Justin Theroux, and the remaining principal cast members.
For now, fans of Running Point will want to check Netflix’s official pages. The show’s viewer numbers are solid, and the writers’ room is already doing its thing, making it look like a case of “when” rather than “if” Running Point gets a third season. In the meantime, Season 2 of the show is still available on Netflix streaming.
