‘All’s Fair’ Renewed for Season 2 Despite Harsh Reviews

-

Hulu has officially renewed All’s Fair for a second season—an unexpected win for the Kim Kardashian and Ryan Murphy–led series, especially considering its overwhelmingly negative critical reception. Season 1 hasn’t even finished airing yet, but Hulu is clearly confident in the show's long-term appeal and star power.

The renewal was confirmed by Deadline, shortly after Rotten Tomatoes revealed the series is sitting at a shocking 3% approval rating based on 30 critic reviews. While this doesn’t mean every reviewer found the show entirely worthless, it does reflect a widespread consensus that Season 1 struggled to deliver on expectations.

‘All’s Fair’ Renewed for Season 2 Despite Harsh Reviews

A Surprising Renewal—But Not for Ryan Murphy

Ryan Murphy is no stranger to polarizing reactions. Many of his projects—Glee, American Horror Story, 9-1-1, and Monster—are massive hits with viewers even if critics are less enthusiastic. At the same time, Murphy has produced critically acclaimed titles like Pose, Feud, and American Crime Story, proving he can win both audiences and critics.

Kim Kardashian’s involvement also gives All’s Fair a major boost. With nearly two decades of dominating reality TV, she brings undeniable visibility and marketing power to any project she touches.

What Is All’s Fair About?

The series features an impressive ensemble including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, and Matthew Noszka—many of whom are Murphy regulars.

Hulu describes the show as:

A team of fierce female divorce attorneys who break away from a male-led firm to build their own powerhouse practice. As they tackle explosive divorces, hidden affairs, and shifting alliances, they’re forced to navigate chaos both inside and outside the courtroom. In a world where love, money, and power collide, these women don’t just fight the game—they reinvent it.

Unlike many Murphy series, Season 2 is not expected to adopt an anthology format. The story will continue with its main cast and ongoing narrative threads.

Why the Negative Reviews?

Director Anthony Hemingway recently addressed the criticism in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. According to him, the backlash stems largely from mismatched expectations.

He explained that many viewers assumed the show would be a traditional legal drama, but All’s Fair intentionally blends multiple genres, tones, and elements of fantasy. Hemingway noted that the show is designed to offer escapism and wish fulfillment—not serious courtroom realism.

He added:

  • The series uses a different tonal “palette” than viewers expected

  • It mixes humor, drama, and glamour

  • It isn’t meant to be interpreted literally

  • It will continue to evolve and become “more human” over time

Hemingway hopes audiences will adjust their expectations and appreciate the show for what it aims to be rather than what people assumed it would become.

What’s Next for Season 2?

Hulu has not revealed any plot details for Season 2. With the show still airing, the direction of the next chapter may depend on how the first season concludes. The Season 1 finale arrives on December 9, and positive buzz from later episodes could help shift critical opinion.

Regardless of the backlash, All’s Fair is clearly here to stay—proving once again that audience engagement and star appeal sometimes matter more than critic scores.
