We’re getting the first look at Kate Hudson as President of a legendary basketball franchise in Mindy Kaling’s new comedy series Running Point (fka Untitled Mindy Kaling Comedy Series), set for premiere in 2025. Hudson and Kaling presented the new title and photos Wednesday during the Netflix Upfront presentation in New York City. You can see the photos above and below.
In Running Point, when a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Hudson) is appointed President of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job, especially in the unpredictable, male-dominated world of sports.
Cast also includes Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Max Greenfield,...

The family business rules everything in the “Power” universe — but in Season 2 of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” some new characters might have a few plans to shake up dynamics as fans know them.
LeToya Luckett, Omar Dorsey, and Paulina Singer have joined the series this season, and each of their characters step onto the scene with something to prove.
As the second season opened with a regretful Kanan (Mekhai Curtis), the teen reunited with his mother Raquel (Patina Miller) and the rest of the Thomas family in New York following the Season 1 blowout between him and Officer Howard (Omar Epps).

If there's one thing we learned from the first installment of "Power Book III: Raising Kanan," it's to not mess with Raquel "Raq" Thomas, played by Patina Miller. As a drug queen-pin and Kanan Stark's (Mekai Curtis) mom, Raq will do whatever it takes to expand her empire and keep her family together, even though their bond has started to break down.
Season one concludes with Kanan escaping to Maryland with Symphony Bosket (Toby Sandeman) after shooting Detective Howard (Omar Epps), which Raq had Unique (Joey Bada) take the fall for. However, things don't pan out like Raq hoped, and Howard is still alive. According to Miller, season two picks up three months after the shooting, so the characters have had time to sort through everything that's gone down. "Kanan is dealing with the consequences of doing something like what he did and how he's changed," Miller tells Popsugar.

It’s third time’s the charm for The Game as the dramedy starring Hosea Chanchez and Wendy Raquel Robinson nears its premiere on Paramount+, after previous runs on the CW and BET.
During Paramount+’s TCA presentation Tuesday, it was revealed that The Game is set to kick off Thursday, November 11. Showrunner and writer Devon Greggory spoke on the panel about bringing back the Girlfriends spinoff, created by Mara Brock Akil, for a modern-day examination of racism, sexism, classism and more.
“We’re going to come deep with some deep issues because 2021 is different than 2008,” he said.
Instead of San Diego, The Game returns to Las Vegas and centers on Black culture through the prism of pro football. The team will tackle a number of social issues and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love—all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Tuesday, August 31.
Hulu's Olga Dies Dreaming, the Hulu pilot based on Xóchitl Gonzalez’s forthcoming novel, has added another cast member.
Williams is set to play Matteo Jones, who’s described "as a collector of music, objects, trivia and, mainly, opinions," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"A passionate Brooklynite, he would come across as a know it all if, in fact, he wasn’t so genuinely curious about everything."
"Matteo is keenly aware of people’s inclination to put everyone and everything into neat little boxes and he firmly refuses to conform."
Williams will star opposite Aubrey Plaza and Ramón Rodriguez on the series, which has landed a pilot order.

If you're not watching Power Book III: Raising Kanan every Sunday on Starz, you're doing yourself a disservice. The show truly has it all: a gripping storyline loosely inspired by executive producer 50 Cent's childhood, a killer soundtrack, and did I mention one hell of a good-looking cast? Case in point: Toby Sandeman. The 33-year-old actor - whom you may recognize as Sebastian from E!'s The Royals - plays Symphony Bosket, the sexy love interest of Patina Miller's badass character Raquel "Raq" Thomas. Unsurprisingly, Toby is also a model and has previously worked on campaigns for Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Given how private Toby is on social media, it's unclear if he's currently single or taken, but there's no harm in just looking, right? Swoon over every sexy photo we could find of Toby ahead.
