Running Point

NBA comedy-drama Running Point premiered in late April 2026 and held strong in May with 3.8 million weekly views, following Kate Cowlings as the surprise new president of a fictional LA basketball team navigating a locker room full of skeptics. The show blends workplace comedy with sports drama in a style reminiscent of Ted Lasso, with Mindy Kaling's writing team delivering sharp jokes and genuine emotional beats. Cameos from real NBA players and coaches in background roles added an authentic layer that basketball fans particularly appreciated.
