Mindy Kaling is launching a new comedy, 'Running Point,' on Netflix, inspired by Jeanie Buss, owner of the Los Angeles Lakers. The story, featuring Kate Hudson, revolves around a fictional NBA team and its associated challenges, including family drama and athlete personalities. This series is likely to draw comparisons to 'Succession' for its billionaire family dynamics and to 'Ted Lasso' for its focus on the interplay between athletes and management. Kaling has other projects in progress, including 'Not Suitable for Work' for Hulu and updates on the anticipated 'Legally Blonde 3.'

Running Point will inevitably be compared to Succession because it riffs on the reputation of a real-life billionaire family.
The story centers on the athletes as much as the owners and coaching staff, similar to the feel-good dynamics of Ted Lasso.
