Halle Berry Exits Hulu Legal Drama ‘All’s Fair’ due to schedule conflict
Ryan Murphy’s upcoming Hulu legal drama All’s Fair has lost one of its biggest stars: Halle Berry is leaving the series, just a week after her casting was announced. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Halle Berry pulled out of the show due to a scheduling conflict.
Halle Berry’s upcoming releases include the Netflix film “The Union” alongside Mark Wahlberg and the Lionsgate horror film “Never Let Go.” The first will be released on August 16, while the second is scheduled for September 27.
Glenn Close and Kim Kardashian remain in the cast and will both serve as executive producers. As previously reported, the Hulu series, touted as “a sexy, glossy, high-end adult show,” is targeting a production start date in late 2024 for a premiere in early 2025. Kardashian will take on the role of the most famous actress in Los Angeles who is a successful divorce attorney working at an all-female law firm.

Kardashian most recently played a ruthless publicist on FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate, which premiered Part 2 on Wednesday, April 3. Her performance was praised by critics and fans alike despite having mixed responses to her initial casting.
Murphy serves as writer, director and executive producer of “All’s Fair,” the first series to be announced under his new overall deal with Disney following the end of its deal with Netflix. Jon Robin Baitz (Brothers & Sisters, FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans), Joe Baken (American Horror Stories), Jamie Pachino (So Help Me Todd, Chicago P.D.), Laura Greene and Richard Levine (Masters of Sex, Nip/ Tuck ) also serve as writers and executive producers. Glenn Close, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are the executive producers along with Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson and Alexis Martin Woodall. Close will produce under her Trillium Productions banner. 20th Television will be produced in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
Not long after the casting story, it was also reported last week that “All’s Fair” is one of five shows that will receive a share of $58 million in tax credits from the California Film Commission. The show is expected to film over 97 days in California, including 10 days outside the Los Angeles area.
