Hulu Renews ‘All’s Fair’ After Record-Breaking Premiere
Despite a wave of negative reviews, Hulu is doubling down on Kim Kardashian’s legal drama All’s Fair. The streamer announced on November 24 that the series has already secured a Season 2 renewal—just weeks after its premiere.
Hulu credited the decision to the show’s massive debut, calling it “the biggest Hulu original scripted series premiere in 3 years,” based on the first three days of streaming. The show launched at No. 1 on Hulu’s Top 15 Today list and has remained there every day since.
According to Hulu, All’s Fair has also generated over 10 billion social media impressions, making it one of the most-discussed shows of the year as it heads toward its two-part finale on December 9.
Inside the Star-Powered Cast of ‘All’s Fair’
The legal drama centers on an all-female Los Angeles law firm led by characters played by:
- Kim Kardashian (Allura)
- Naomi Watts (Liberty)
- Teyana Taylor (Milan)
- Glenn Close (Dina Standish)
- Additional series regular Emerald (character details forthcoming)
The guest cast is just as stacked, featuring Matthew Noszka, O-T Fagbenle, Ed O’Neill, Judith Light, Kathleen Garrett, Tamara Taylor, Lorraine Toussaint, and appearances from Elizabeth Berkley, Brooke Shields, Grace Gummer, and more.
For actors and creators, this level of star power signals that All’s Fair may continue to attract high-profile talent in upcoming seasons.
How Negative Reviews May Have Helped the Show
While the critical response to the first three episodes was overwhelmingly negative, Kardashian reportedly took the backlash in stride.
A source told Us Weekly that Kim joked the criticism was “actually getting more people to watch.” Despite the online discourse, she celebrated the series for staying No. 1 on the platform for days after release.
Kardashian has been candid about the uncertainty surrounding new projects, even acknowledging the pressure during an episode of The Kardashians:
“It’s not guaranteed that it’s gonna be a hit… You put your heart and soul into something and it’s like, ‘What if it doesn’t hit?’”
She added that acting brings a different level of pressure compared to reality TV:
“There’s definitely a judging meter of like, ‘You can act’ or ‘You are a bad actress.’”
Kim Kardashian Continues to Build Her Acting Career
All’s Fair marks Kardashian’s second major collaboration with TV powerhouse Ryan Murphy, following her role in American Horror Story: Delicate. The reality star has been vocal about taking acting seriously, even enrolling in acting classes to prepare.
“It’s a challenge but I like to challenge myself,” she told Variety. “It’s really fun to step outside your comfort zone and grow.”
With Murphy backing the project and Hulu renewing the series early, Kardashian’s move into scripted television appears to be gaining traction—despite the critics.
What Season 2 Could Mean for Talent
A renewal this early is a positive sign for anyone pursuing opportunities in:
- Casting (new characters, new cases, potential guest stars)
- Production roles as Murphy expands the show’s world
- Writers and directors aiming to join a high-profile streaming drama
- Background actors with more law-office, courtroom, and L.A. lifestyle scenes expected
Given the series’ social media reach, All’s Fair may remain a major conversation driver into 2025.
