Netflix today announced that actress Kate Hudson will star in the Untitled Mindy Kaling comedy series from executive producer Mindy Kaling. Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery) joins as Isla Gordon and will executive produce.
The logline reads: When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon is appointed President of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job, especially in the unpredictable, male-dominated world of sports.
The only sister in a family of competitive brothers, Isla Gordon has been overlooked and underappreciated her whole life. But when she is unexpectedly appointed President of the Los Angeles Waves, she finally has the chance to prove she deserves to be part of the family business as much as everyone else.
The series is also written and executive produced by Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Never Have I Ever), Ike Barinholtz (History of the World, The Mindy project), and David Stassen (History of the World, The Mindy Project). It is produced by Mindy Kaling’s Kaling International in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Kaling is under an overall deal.
