Oscar and Emmy winner Halle Berry is no longer attached to ‘All’s Fair’, Hulu‘s new legal series from Ryan Murphy and Kim Kardashian.
The news comes a week after the Disney streamer announced that Berry and Glenn Close were joining the ensemble project as leads opposite Kardashian and executive producers alongside the SKIMS mogul and Murphy.
Glenn Close and Kim Kardashian remain in the cast, with both set to serve as executive producers.
As previously reported, the Hulu series — touted as “a high-end, glossy and sexy adult procedural” — is eyeing a late 2024 production start date for an early 2025 launch.
Kardashian will take on the role of Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyer working at an all-female law firm. (No details on Close’s role have yet been released.)
Murphy will write, direct and executive-produce as part of his overall deal with Disney. Additional writers/EPs include 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’). Kris Jenner also executive-produces.
Kardashian most recently starred as a cutthroat publicist in FX’s ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’, which premiered Part 2 on Wednesday, April 3.
Despite mixed responses to her initial casting, critics and fans received her performance well.
Close’s TV credits include ‘The Shield’, ‘Damages’, ‘The New Look’, ‘Tehran’ and ‘The Simpsons’ (as Mona Simpson).
Berry, meanwhile, starred in the Steven Spielberg-produced sci-fi series ‘Extant’. She also appeared on ‘The Bernie Mac Show’, ‘Frasier’, ‘Martin’, ‘Knots Landing’, ‘A Different World’ and ‘They Came from Outer Space’, and voiced an episode of ‘The Simpsons’.
