The first photos from Hulu drama All’s Fair have been released today along with a teaser trailer but while Kim Kardashian is a huge name, some fans aren’t happy
All’s Fair starring Kim Kardashian
Potential viewers have been less than impressed by the poster for Ryan Murphy’s latest Hulu series All’s Fair as it was released today, with Kim Kardashian pictured leading the charge. The reality star-turned-actress stars as Allura Grant, a high-powered divorce attorney at the helm of an all-female law firm in the glossy legal drama.
Joining her on screen is a formidable line-up of talent, including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and, most notably, Oscar nominee Glenn Close. The series follows a group of women who leave a male-dominated legal firm to launch their own powerhouse practice. The official synopsis teases courtroom fireworks, personal rivalries and more than a few scandalous secrets.
According to the show’s official synopsis, the women “navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances – both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game – they change it.”
Produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television, the series marks Murphy’s first major project under his new deal with Disney after departing Netflix.
The writing and executive producing team includes Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Jamie Pachino, Lyn Greene, and Richard Levine. Directing duties are shared with Anthony Hemingway, who also serves as executive producer, as do Kardashian, Close, Watts, Nash-Betts, and Paulson.
But while the star-studded teaser trailer has generated considerable buzz, not everyone is thrilled with the show’s promotional materials.
The poster has sparked a backlash on social media, as Kim Kardashian takes precedence in it, while veteran actress Glenn Close is pushed into the background.
“In what world, though, is Glenn Close BEHIND Kim Kardashian,” one fan fumed on X, adding: “I want names and badge numbers. I don’t care if she’s in one episode for five minutes, you put Glenn Close front and centre.”
The teaser trailer, however, hints at a meaty role for Close, who plays fierce legal strategist Dina Standish. In one standout moment, she instructs a client: “Get mad! Get hot! Get revenge!”
Meanwhile, Kardashian can be seen delivering a poised performance as Allura, coolly addressing a cocky husband during a tense meditation saying: “You’re right. Everything we’re going to show you today, you should be intimately familiar with.”
The role may resonate with Kardashian on a personal level, as her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., was famously part of O.J. Simpson’s defence team during his 1995 murder trial.
Another striking moment from the trailer featured Judith Light declaring: “You know what a woman’s best friend is? Not diamonds. Her lawyers.”
Kim Kardashian is best known for starring in reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but she previously played a scripted role in one of Ryan Murphy’s other shows, American Horror Story. In Delicate she played the supporting character Siobhan Corbyn, who is the best friend of female lead Anna Victoria Alcott.
