Netflix has announced its highly anticipated basketball comedy series featuring Kate Hudson will debut on February 27. The 10-episode series follows the story of Isla Gordon, portrayed by Hudson, who unexpectedly becomes president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team following her brother's scandal-driven resignation.
The show centers on Gordon's journey as she faces the challenge of proving herself in the male-dominated sports industry while managing her family's legacy franchise. Hudson's character must navigate skepticism from her brothers, the board of directors, and the broader sports community as she steps into her new leadership role.
The star-studded cast includes Max Greenfield, Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, and Jay Ellis, with special guest appearances by Justin Theroux. The series comes from the creative minds of Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and showrunner David Stassen.
Behind the scenes, the project brings together an impressive production team. Executive producers include Hudson herself, along with Howard Klein from 3 Arts Entertainment, Jeanie Buss, and Linda Rambis. The series is produced by Kaling International in partnership with Warner Bros. Television.
The show promises to blend comedy with the high-stakes world of professional basketball management, offering viewers an inside look at the challenges and dynamics of running a major sports franchise through a fresh perspective.
