Netflix's Running Point season 2 begins filming in August, targets spring 2026 release
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.
That date would place Running Point well within the Emmy eligibility window, which has a May end cutoff.
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.

The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 slumps — Salman Khan's premiere hits 1.6M, far below Ranbir Kapoor's 2.4M peak
The Great Indian Kapil Show premiered its third season on Netflix on 21st June, 2025, with the first guest being Salman Khan who promoted his film Sikandar. This episode is also the most watched episode of the season so far, but the overall viewership is still in decline compared to the first season of the show. This has been a recurring trend for The Great Indian Kapil Show, as the first two episodes of season 2 also had lower viewership numbers compared to season 1. When ranking the premiere episodes of seasons 1 and 3, the first season premiere featuring Ranbir Kapoor had the highest viewership with 2.4 million views. The third season premiere with Salman Khan at 1.6 million views is a far cry from those heights. The Great Indian Kapil show season 3 viewership declined after the premiere The viewership numbers for season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show have continued to decline since the premiere episode. Sikandar ka swag + Kapil ki timing = BLOCKBUSTER 😍🔥The Great Indian Kapil Show is back aur har Funnyvaar badhega humara parivaar. Watch the first episode from 21 June, 8 pm, every Saturday only on Netflix. #TheGreatIndianKapilShowOnNetflix The second episode of season 3 featured the cast of the Hindi film Metro In Dino, and the third episode of season 3 featured appearances from cricketers Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, and others. Netflix has not released individual episode numbers for the show, instead giving out cumulative weekly numbers. Going by the data, after the first week's premiere's 1.6 million views, the second week had 2 million cumulative views, and the third week had 1.2 million cumulative views. These numbers clearly indicated that neither the second nor third episodes could match the viewership of the third season premiere. And the third season premiere has already failed to capture the peak viewership numbers of the first season. Netflix has failed consecutively with 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'.Even top guests make it barely watchable. The Great Indian Kapil show has not recaptured its first season heyday Going by viewership numbers alone, The Great Indian Kapil Show has failed to capture the glory days of its first season in either of its follow-up seasons. While Netflix has given no indication of halting production on the series, it remains to be seen how the declining viewership will impact its long-term health.
