Will justice be served? “All’s Fair” has been renewed for season 2 on Hulu.
The Ryan Murphy series debuted on Nov. 4 and quickly became a camp staple. Despite being scorned by critics (Variety called it a “condescending take on the girlboss fantasy”), the Kim Kardashian-starring divorce lawyer drama was a ratings hit, topping Hulu’s ratings charts and becoming the streamer’s biggest original scripted series debut in three years (based on the first three days of availability).
“All’s Fair” follows a team of female divorce lawyers as they leave a male-dominated firm to start their own high-powered law firm. According to the logline, “Fierce, intelligent, and emotionally complex, these women navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting loyalties both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. In a world where money speaks and love is the battleground, these women don’t just play the game, they change the game.”
The series stars Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noschka, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close, all of whom compete against each other with hilariously absurd lines. (There’s also talk of “jiggly boobs” and “blowing a priest with chlamydia,” but Paulson probably accepts the cake by saying, “See you in court, Kantberger.”)
“All’s Fair” will be written and executive produced by Murphy, who will also direct. The EP also includes Jon Robin Bates, Joe Baken, Jamie Pachino, Lynn Greene, and Richard Levine, as well as series stars Kardashian, Close, Watts, Nash-Betts, and Paulson. Anthony Hemingway will serve as executive producer and director. And wait — there’s more! Kris Jenner, Erik Kovtun, Scott Robertson, and Nyssa Diederich also serve as executive producers.
Taylor defended the show in an interview with Variety’s Marc Malkin at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month. “This is our first season,” she said in part. “Please give us just a little bit of grace.”
