Running Point Star Says Lisa Rinna’s Season 2 Cameo Left Them Shaken — Here’s Why

Lisa Rinna rolled through Netflix 's Running Point, yelled at Drew Tarver, and apparently stole the episode. Honestly, that tracks.

Rinna showed up, screamed, crushed it

Drew Tarver, who shares scenes with Rinna on the show, could not stop laughing about it while chatting ahead of season 2. He loved that she leaned into a heightened version of herself and admitted she kind of rattled him in the best possible way.

"Oh, my God. She was so funny. Her screaming at me — it was very fun."

"She’s really good at it. And I was scared."

Rinna playing a sharper, louder version of Lisa Rinna is exactly the tone this show thrives on, and Tarver made it sound like the cameo landed perfectly.

Quick refresher: what is Running Point?

The series premiered in 2025 and stars Kate Hudson as a reformed party girl suddenly handed the keys to her family 's pro basketball team. It is exactly as chaotic as that sounds, on purpose, and the show leans hard into wild guest spots.

The rotating door of famous faces (and who plays who)

• Kate Hudson - leads the series as the woman trying to prove she can run the Gordon family's franchise
• Scott MacArthur - plays Ness
• Fabrizio Guido - plays Jackie, a newcomer to the Gordon family orbit
• Drew Tarver - trades screams with Lisa Rinna in her cameo
• Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman, Justin Theroux, Uche Agada - part of the core ensemble
• Cameos the show brags about - everyone from Scott Disick to Macaulay Culkin has popped in
• Ken Marino - shows up as a season 2 guest star

The season 2 wish list: Kurt Russell

Here is the fun wrinkle. While talking about season 2, the cast got pitched on a very specific cameo: Kurt Russell, who happens to be Kate Hudson's stepdad, playing the late Gordon family patriarch. That idea was floated back in April 2026 and the cast basically said, yes please.

Scott MacArthur joked he always kind of thought of Russell as his dad anyway, so he is all in. Fabrizio Guido said he would love to share a scene with him and sounded genuinely surprised he had not thought of it sooner. Ken Marino also backed it, calling the idea fantastic and telling people to get that out there.

On the producing side, everyone seems game. Executive producer Jeanie Buss lit up at the suggestion and said she totally supports it. Executive producer David Stassen did not just say it was a great idea — he admitted it has already been kicked around.

"That’s a great idea. And it’s been balled about. We’ve talked about it. If we ever do see him, we could not do better than Kurt Russell."

Yes, he said "balled about." His words. Either way, talks have clearly happened.
