Brenda Song & More Join Kate Hudson in Mindy Kaling’s Basketball Comedy Series

Netflix has announced that The Suite Life of Zack & Cody vet Brenda Song has been tapped to join Kate Hudson in Mindy Kaling’s upcoming basketball comedy series.

Song is set portray the role of Ali Lee. In addition, Drew Tarver (The Other Two) and Scott MacArthur (The Righteous Gemstones) have also been cast for the respective roles of Sandy and Ness Gordon, who are the competitive brothers of Hudson’s character Isla.

What is Mindy Kaling’s next Netflix series about?

“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,” reads the logline. “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 untitled series is written and executive produced by Kaling (Never Have I Ever), Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, with the latter also serving as the showrunner. It is executive produced by Hudson, Howard Klein, Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis, with Jordan Rambis producing.
