Netflix announced on October 19, 2026, that Mindy Kaling is joining the cast of its comedy “Running Point” for Season 3. Kaling is already a co-creator, writer and executive producer of the series, Variety reports.
According to Variety, Kaling will play Divya, the CEO of a popular gambling app, in a recurring role. A character description quoted by the outlet says Divya will become “a thorn in Isla’s plans all season.” Kate Hudson plays Isla, who runs her family’s professional basketball team. That description previews the planned role, not scenes already shown.
Variety reported on October 19 that Season 3 production was underway in Los Angeles. Hudson will direct the first episode, which the outlet says will mark her television directorial debut.
Positive replies welcomed Mindy Kaling joining Running Point Season 3 for her energy and humor that could add sharp comedy and drama, while negative replies objected to the casting citing her work on Velma and the gambling CEO role.
