Kim Kardashian’s All’s Fair renewed despite crushing reviews

When All’s Fair arrived on Hulu on 4 November 2025, it aimed to be the next big legal drama led by a star-packed cast. Created by Ryan Murphy and fronted by Kim Kardashian, the series also stars Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor and Glenn Close. It follows a group of high-powered divorce lawyers who walk away from a male-dominated legal world to establish their own firm.

The response was immediate and polarising. Within its first three days on the platform, the series attracted an estimated 3.2 million global viewers, making it Hulu’s biggest original scripted debut in three years. At the same time, critics delivered a harsh verdict, with reviews describing the show as poorly written and over-stylised. Its Rotten Tomatoes score currently sits at just 3%, placing it among the lowest-rated major drama launches in recent memory.

Despite the critical response, Hulu has confirmed that All’s Fair will return for a second season. The renewal signals a broader trend within the streaming industry, where audience numbers, engagement and social media conversation often carry more weight than traditional critical acclaim.

The decision also highlights the lasting pull of its creators and cast. Murphy’s track record of creating conversation-driven television, combined with Kardashian’s cultural reach, has helped keep the series firmly in the spotlight even as negative reviews continue to circulate.

With the first season building towards its two-episode finale in December, the focus now shifts to what comes next. Will the show adjust its tone and storytelling in response to criticism, or double down on its polarising style in season two?

For now, All’s Fair stands as one of the most divisive releases of the year, proof that in today’s streaming landscape, being talked about can sometimes matter more than being praised.
