Mindy Kaling’s pro basketball front office comedy at Netflix just got a slam-dunk of a cast! It’s like a dream team of hilarious talent, and I can’t wait to see them in action. So, who’s joining the squad?
First up, we have the fabulous Brenda Song. You might know her from shows like “Dollface” or films like “Love Accidentally,” but get ready to see her bring the laughs as Ali Lee, the chief of staff of The Waves. And let me tell you, this character is not to be messed with. Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Ali knows where the bodies are buried. She’s tough, funny, and even the biggest guy on the team is scared of her. Talk about girl power!
Next, we have Drew Tarver, who is gonna bring his A-game as Sandy Gordon, Isla’s brother and the chief financial officer of The Waves. Sandy might not be the most athletic guy on the court, but he’s got brains for days. He’s determined to prove himself to the family and make the franchise profitable. Hey, who needs sports skills when you’ve got financial prowess, right?
Last but certainly not least, we’ve got Scott MacArthur as Ness Gordon, the emotionally sensitive general manager of The Waves. Ness is a former player himself, but his on-court career didn’t quite pan out. Now, he’s channeling his energy into greatness in the front office and trying to impress his siblings. With infectious enthusiasm and a desire for redemption, Ness is ready to take on the world. We’re rooting for you, Ness!
With this hilarious trio joining the already announced Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, the stage is set for some side-splitting comedy. The show follows Isla as she takes over as President of the Los Angeles Waves after a scandal forces her brother to resign. She’s got to prove herself in the male-dominated world of sports, and with a team like this, I have no doubt she’ll come out on top.
Behind the scenes, we have superstar Mindy Kaling serving as co-writer and executive producer, alongside the talented Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen. Stassen will also take on the role of showrunner, keeping the laughs coming. Oh, and did I mention that Jeanie Buss, the president of the Los Angeles Lakers, is also on board as an executive producer? Talk about a winning lineup!
So, get ready to laugh till your sides hurt when this pro basketball front office comedy hits Netflix. With Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, and the incredible Kate Hudson leading the way, it’s sure to be a slam-dunk of a series. Game on!
