Ryan Murphy's All's Fair Scores Surprise Season 2 Renewal - Israel News Beep

Ryan Murphy had an eventful 2025, but his shows weren’t exactly well-received. That didn’t stop networks from renewing them.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story received even more criticism than the previous two shows, and his latest release, Hulu’s All’s Fair, was even worse. The show debuted with a rare 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes, despite its strong cast. However, the series turned out to be a success as Hulu has officially renewed All’s Fair for Season 2, Deadline reports.

The legal drama has already scored a Season 2 ahead of Season 1’s wrap, set for Dec. 9 with a two-episode finale. The series premiered on Nov. 4 with a three-episode debut, and has released new episodes every Tuesday.

All’s Fair’s official description promises it follows the female leads who are, “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.”

With an all-star cast of frequent collaborators from Murphy’s extended universe, including Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash-Betts, All’s Fair also stars Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, and Glenn Close. Murphy co-created the show with Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz.

Speaking about how the show happened, Murphy shared at the show’s L.A. premiere, “This show started with Dana Walden, as everything in my career has for the past 20 years. It started because I said I really wanted to meet Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Dana facilitated a dinner and I did something I’ve never done in my career, which was I brought a reality pitch.”

All’s Fair Was Destroyed by Critics

Ryan Murphy is an extremely prolific TV creator, with many successful shows. In 2025 alone, he co-created three series, Monster, which returned for Season 3, 9-1-1: Nashville, and All’s Fair. The latter drew the short straw when it came to critical reception, and features an abysmal 3% after its initial 0% score.

The score comes from 30 reviews, and only one of them is positive. Decider’s Joel Keller admitted All’s Fair is “over the top and campy as hell, but it also knows it’s both of these things, which is why the show and the cases the firm deals with are going to be fun to watch.”

That doesn’t change the fact that The Guardian gave it a zero-star review, calling it “terrible, fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.” The Hollywood Reporter summed it up as “brain dead.”

Even so, the series was a success. They say all the press is good press, and the surrounding chatter about All’s Fair really helped. The series holds a positive, though unimpressive 66% approval from the audience on Rotten Tomatoes, and also generated 2.61 million hours viewed in the U.S. for the week between Oct. 31 through Nov. 6, which is a lot considering the show premiered on Nov. 4. During its first three days, the Hulu series received 3.2 million views globally, and continued to be a massive hit.

All’s Fair returns with new episodes on Tuesdays on Hulu.
