Kate Hudson's Meta Breakup in Running Point

0:00On April 23rd, Kate Hudson's character in Netflix's running point season 2 just pulled off a savage break up that nods to her own rom-com classic. As president of the Los Angeles Way's basketball team, Isla Gordon calls off her engagement to Lev Levinson the night before their wedding, then drops. A voiceover line about losing a guy in 10 minutes. That quick split plays out across episodes 5 and 6, with Lev calling her selfish before storming off. Joe co-creator Mindy Kaling pinned the moment, and both she and Hudson loved how it landed during the table-read, even if they usually skipped those. Meta references. Fans of Hudson's 2003 hit, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, will catch the vibe right away, since her character there bets on pushing away A.C. Guy fast. Hudson says she is open to a sequel if the script is right, though nothing is cooking yet. This season also scores big with a family cameo from Hudson's brother Oliver, who joins a chaotic pickup basketball game against rival team owners.

1:02Isla plays rough, slamming her cousin's hand at tip-off, and Hudson calls the whole shoot a hilarious disaster with all the guys involved. Running point keeps blending sports drama, family chaos, and those perfect pop culture easter eggs, making season 2 a slam dunk for binge watchers.
