Interview: Showrunner David Stassen on Melding Sports and Story into the Comedy of ‘Running Point’

In the new Netflix comedy series Running Point, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) becomes president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team, facing criticism from players, fans, and her three brothers, who all don’t have much faith in her ability to step up to the plate.

Awards Buzz spoke with showrunner David Stassen about infusing his love for basketball into a show that is much more about people operating in that world than just playing the game. Watch the video above to hear about his collaboration with Mindy Kaling and Ike Barinholtz and finding the perfect cast for the series.

Season one of Running Point is now streaming on Netflix.
