That's where the first season of Running Point left us last year.
Netflix dropped the Season 2 trailer on March 26, and it figures to be even better. It will hit Netflix on April 23.
Isla is still in a power struggle with her brothers, Ness (Scott MacArthur) and Sandy (Drew Tarver), but it's even more intense now that Cam is back in the fold. Cam claims he's fine working under Isla, but nobody believes that. The franchise is in shambles, and Isla is public enemy number one.

The trailer shows Ray Romano replacing Jay as head coach, though Jay still appears, and cameos by Octavia Spencer, Lisa Rinna, and Nicole Richie.
Brenda Song, Max Greenfield, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, and Jon Glaser are also among those reprising their roles for Season 2.
Running Point was co-created by Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and Elaine Ko, and the comedy series is a fictionalized version of the now-former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. The Buss family sold the Lakers to Mark Walter for approximately $10 billion last June, per ESPN. Jeanie Buss is now the team's governor.
"Mindy has a way of capturing things so well and so succinctly,” Buss told Netflix's Tudum. "What I really liked was she understood what it was like to be in this position. I could spend hours trying to explain what she can say in one scene with a couple lines of dialogue. It’s brilliant."
