Oliver Hudson was pulling for a cameo in Running Point but didn't quite make the cut. The new Netflix series sees Kate Hudson take the helm of her family's L.A. basketball team, the Waves, while navigating a chaotic sibling dynamic with her scheming brothers Sandy (Drew Tarver),

WHAT IT'S ABOUT The dysfunctional inner workings of an NBA franchise serve as the fodder for "Running Point," a comedy series starring Kate Hudson and arriving on Netflix from co-creator Mindy Kaling.

The project reunites Kaling with Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, who met on "The Mindy Project" and "love writing for demented women," Kaling told IndieWire.
