So we hear you, and so did Netflix. Running Point is officially coming back for Season 2! Thank you so much, everyone who watched the show so far.

Created by The Mindy Project's Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, and Modern Family's Elaine Ko, Running Point stars Hudson as Isla Gordon, who is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves — one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business — after a scandal forces her brother to resign. Ambitious and often-overlooked, Isla must prove to her brothers, the board and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job.
'We are so thrilled to be able to deliver a Season 2 of Running Point to the fans of the show,' Kaling added in a statement. 'We still cannot believe the response from audiences — thank you to everyone who has watched! Thank you to our partners at Netflix, Warner Brothers, our star who brought this show to life, Kate Hudson, and of course executive producers Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis, without whom there would be no Running Point.'
Running Point's cast also includes Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis, Max Greenfield and Justin Theroux.

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders reject CEO David Zaslav's pay package
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted on Tuesday to reject the pay packages for several of the company's executives, including CEO David Zaslav's compensation package of more than $50 million. Nearly 60% of the symbolic vote was against the 2024 executive payouts at Warner Bros. Discovery's annual meeting, according to a regulatory filing. The vote is non-binding. Last year, shareholders narrowly approved executive pay, with 53% voting in favor. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of CNN. Zaslav, who has been CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery since 2022, when the company was created by the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., was paid a total of $51.9 million last year, including equity awards and other compensation. Warner Bros. Discovery's stock (WBD) declined 7% in 2024, while media competitor Netflix (NFLX) saw its stock gain more than 80% in 2024 and Disney's stock (DIS) rose 24%.

6 John Brenkus 'Sport Science' videos proving he's an ESPN legend
The world is mourning the loss of John Brenkus, who entertained us and informed us all over the years with Sport Science, the segments on ESPN and Fox Sports Net. The concept was simple, but the execution was incredible: like Mr. Wizard, but sports. It would start with a focus on a player or a question, and then it would dive DEEP with stats galore -- say, the speed of a player or how much a hit from a linebacker is, measured in the Sport Science lab. Every angle was covered. Advertisement And at the center of it all was Brenkus, the host and mastermind who would break it all down with excitement, a warm, inviting approach and a voice made for broadcasting. It's no wonder that he won six Emmys and the world is heartbroken after his family revealed he lost a battle with depression May 31, 2025. With all of that in mind, here's a look back at some amazing Sport Science segments over the years as we pay tribute to the great John Brenkus: The LeBron James chase down block This should tell you just how incredible James' athleticism is.
