The show, produced by Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, “puts a bold twist on the underdog comedy,” adds Netflix.
Who is in the Running Point cast?
Joining Hudson in the cast of Netflix's Running Point are Brenda Song, New Girl's Max Greenfield, Chet Hanks (yes, Tom's son), Insecure's Jay Ellis, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, and Toby Sandeman.
Song plays Ali Lee, described by Netflix as “the Waves’ intimidating chief of staff” and the character who “knows where the bodies are buried."
“She understands the complex politics surrounding the Gordon family, having known Isla since they shared a dorm room in college,” the character description continues. “She’s funny, tough, and even the biggest guy on the team is scared of her.”
Greenfield, meanwhile, will play Isla's fiancé, who cheers her on from behind the scenes and is described as “a good-natured pediatrician who enthusiastically supports his love.” No one does enthusiasm quite like Greenfield.
