It's great news for All's Fair- the Ryan Murphy-created drama that stars Kim Kardashian as Allura Grant- as Disney/Hulu picked it up for a second season. Of course, we knew that this was evident and not at all surprising. What is surprising, though (and not really), is that All's Fair is one of the worst productions of 2025.
On the surface, a legal firm operated and owned by a group of women divorce attorneys living in Los Angeles and milking off their success is not a bad idea. The occupation is usually dominated by men and seeing women step in to the job for women to deliver the best possible financial and material outcome for their clients is a refreshing take, along with female empowerment.
But critics slammed All's Fair for its preposterous storylines and poor acting, especially when you have the media legend, Glenn Close, in a key role. Another reason is Kim herself: this is her second Murphy project, and her film and TV credits are not as numerous as those of her costars. However, despite her short accomplishments, Kim does have talent we never expected her to have. While it's not traditionally set in stone or expected, she's fun to watch and even nitpick in an inoffensive way.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, All's Fair initially attained a 0% rating, then it was bumped to a whopping 4%. While critics hate it, fans love it, giving it an approval rating of 66%. And truth be told, they're the ones that make or break a film or TV show's success.
But I do have to say that All's Fair isn't Emmy material, and there are scenes that are absolutely 'cringing' to witness. At the same time, it's deliciously bad, with high-fashion apparel that should never breeze into a courtroom or, at the very least, into a meeting with clients to hear their story.
But that's what All's Fair is, a story. A deeply fictional account of attorneys whose angles should never be utilized in reality. That's what makes it fun.
Here's the verdict why All's Fair got renewed
You would think that a show with all the negative jargon about it wouldn't stand a chance for a renewal. It's not always the case, for there were remarkable shows that didn't survive beyond a season, and atrocious ones that hold no value last a decade. It's pretty mindblowing on paper, but when you etch deeper, it always have to do with the numbers.
On its premiere day on November 4, All's Fair achieved a streamer rating of 3.2 million views, a record breaker for an original series in three years. With this high number, it's only logical to renew the drama for a second season. As we said, the fans have the final say in a show's success, and the 3,2 mil proves it.
Besides, Kim and the cast are having fun with All's Fair, and they know that it shouldn't be taken seriously. If it was, then we're in for some huge trouble that will lead to a legal dystopia. And we don't want that.
The show is currently its second half on Hulu, and will have its season one two-part finale on December 9.
