Sarah Paulson’s Legal Drama With All-Time Rotten Tomatoes Record Sets Early Release (But There’s A Catch)

Published Oct 6, 2026, 12:37 PM EDT Jeff Dodge (he/him), a published author and graduate of Western Washington University, has been a TV news editor for many years and has had the chance to interview multiple reality show stars, including Randy Jackson, Nick Cannon, Heidi Klum, Mel B and John Cena. Fun Fact: he’s been to every single Idol Live! Tour. Ryan Murphy's legal drama All's Fair is getting a very unique early release ahead of its November 2026 premiere on Hulu. The series launched in November 2025 with a three-episode premiere and wrapped up its first season the following month. Only five episodes had been released when Hulu announced it was renewing All's Fair for a second season, with filming taking place this spring and summer. Murphy recently told ScreenRant that he believes the legal drama will return on November 5. While Hulu has not officially announced a release date yet, All's Fair season 2 will premiere sometime in November. However, some fans will be able to watch it early. According to Variety, the premiere episode will screen at the Auditorium Parco della Musica during the Rome Film Festival on October 24. Stars Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts and Naomi Watts will all be in attendance. Other cast members include Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, Matthew Noszka, Ed O'Neill and O-T Fagbenle. Several of these actors have worked with Murphy in the past, including Paulson on American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Feud, Ratched and Monster; Kardashian on American Horror Story; Nash-Betts on Monster and Grotesquerie; and Watts on Feud and The Watcher. All's Fair has proven to be a very polarizing series. Working in its favor, and what ultimately led to a renewal, is strong viewership, with the show giving Hulu its biggest premiere in the past three years. However, the ratings haven't translated into positive reviews. Critics widely panned All's Fair, giving it a shockingly low 6% on Rotten Tomatoes (a new record for Murphy), with some calling it a train wreck, dull and so bad it can't even be classified as camp. The audience score is much higher at 65%, but that still indicates mixed-to-positive reviews. The star-studded series follows a group of female attorneys who create their own firm that focuses on representing women going through high-stakes divorces. All's Fair season 2 will see the Grant, Ronson & Greene attorneys face many obstacles, including scandals, secrets and a major revelation that could put the firm in jeopardy. Paulson, Kardashian, Nash-Betts, Watts and Close not only star on All's Fair, but they're also executive producers with Murphy, Jon Robin, Jamie Pachino, Joe Baken, Richard Levine, Lyn Greene, Anthony Hemingway, Nissa Diederich, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson and Kris Jenner. Murphy co-wrote several episodes during the first season and directed the premiere. Throughout his career, Murphy has created numerous shows like Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, Scream Queens and The Beauty. The most recent series he launched was The Shards, with American Horror Story and Monster recently coming back for brand-new seasons. 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville will return to ABC on October 15, followed by All's Fair in November.
