Kim Kardashian plays a powerhouse divorce attorney running an all-female law firm alongside Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts in the trailer for Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair legal drama, which dropped on Tuesday.
The series, to be teased at Disney’s Upfronts presentation on Tuesday, portrays women helping women to leave their cheating, scoundrel husbands. As an in-your-face Glenn Close, in the role of Dina Standish, tells a client at one point in the trailer: “Get mad! Get hot! Get revenge!”
Kardashian plays Allura Grant, the law firm’s owner in the legal drama that promises mediation room struggles, stylish power suits and clinking champagne glasses — all to secure pricey divorce settlements. “You’re right. Everything we’re going to show you today, you should be intimately familiar with,” Kardashian tells a cocky husband during one tense mediation session.
That assured style for the reality TV star may be inspired by the courtroom style of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who made a name as one of O.J. Simpson’s attorneys at his infamous 1994 murder trial. So expect no amicable splits in mega-producer Murphy’s first TV series for Disney after leaving Netflix for a new overall deal at 20th Television.
As a synopsis from the producers puts it: “A team of female divorce attorneys leave a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. Fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated, they 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.”
All’s Fair, landing on Hulu in the U.S. this Fall and Disney+ internationally, also stars Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka and Sarah Paulson. The series, produced by Ryan Murphy Television, is written, directed and executive produced by Murphy, who earlier worked with Kardashian on American Horror Story.
The executive producer credits are also shared by Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Jamie Pachino, Lyn Greene, Richard Levine, Kardashian, Close, Watts, Nash-Betts, Paulson, Anthony Hemingway (who also directs), Kris Jenner, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson and Nissa Diederich.
