Mindy Kaling serves as both writer and executive producer for the Netflix sitcom titled “Running Point,” featuring Kate Hudson in the lead role. During a chat with PEOPLE, Kaling, who was previously part of “The Office” cast, shared that this show is unlike anything she’s penned before.
In none of her project’s key roles, romantic concerns are not among the top 5 priorities. This is an area Kaling is less accustomed to exploring in her writing, as she has typically created characters with aspirations for boyfriends, marriage, and problem-solving.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d rephrase that to: Regardless of their apathy towards it, the show emphasizes a certain “allure” for its characters, including Isla Gordon (Hudson), who was previously overlooked and unexpectedly appointed as the president of her family’s basketball team. The series unfolds her journey of self-discovery and empowerment amidst this newfound role.
In her humorous remarks, Mindy Kaling playfully referred to herself as an older woman with a fondness for steamy scenes, expressing delight at the romantic tension between characters played by Hudson and Jay Ellis on her series Never Have I Ever.
When Kaling made her humorous remark, the actress from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days playfully agreed, saying she felt similarly, though older. In actuality, as portrayed by The Mindy Project actress, Hudson’s character aims to be respected and demonstrate her value; this is her primary goal.
Additionally, Isla finds herself immersed in a great deal of familial turmoil, meaning love is not currently on her mind. Hudson concurred, acknowledging that the pressure is particularly significant for her as this is her debut leading role in a sitcom series.
Although she enjoys romantic comedies and relationships, a comedy setting offers a distinct dynamic and backdrop. As Hudson explained, it provides a more comprehensive, authentic representation of a woman’s life beyond just seeking romance.
Running Point is now streaming on Netflix.
