Kate Hudson crashes courtside as Isla Gordon, the black-sheep sister suddenly promoted to president of the Los Angeles Waves when her older brother Cam checks into rehab. The half-hour comedy, created by Mindy Kaling and David Stassen, keeps the action inside the locker room, boardroom and bedrooms where Isla battles her CFO brother Sandy, GM brother Ness, problematic point guard Travis Bugg and a rotating cast of agents, sponsors and meddling parents. Each episode throws up a fresh crisis: a leaked trade rumour, a suspended coach, a sponsorship collapse, Travis’s drug habit, Isla’s fiancé demanding she convert to Judaism. The camera rarely leaves the arena’s corridors, so when Isla misses Lev’s paediatrician awards dinner because she’s driving Travis to rehab, the personal cost lands harder than any buzzer-beater. Season one ends with the Waves one miracle shot away from the championship, Cam back from rehab to reclaim his throne, and Isla kissing coach Jay Brown while the stadium empties around them. Netflix renewed the series within a month, and season two arrives April 2026 with Ray Romano and Ken Marino joining the bench.
