Hulu has renewed the legal drama All's Fair for a second season, three weeks after the show first premiered on the service. The streamer said the decision comes after a very strong opening and a large amount of online attention. Hulu's quick move shows the company values early viewer interest even when critics are harsh.The show stars Kim Kardashian as Allura Grant, a high-powered divorce lawyer in Los Angeles who runs a firm that fights for wealthy clients. The drama is created by Ryan Murphy with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, and it is produced by 20th Television for Hulu. The cast also includes Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, Matthew Noszka, and Glenn Close, and several cast members also serve as executive producers. The presence of many well-known names helped the show draw early attention.Hulu said All's Fair recorded about 3.2 million views worldwide in the first three days after its November 4 premiere. The company measured views by dividing total viewing minutes by the running time of the episodes. Hulu described the result as its best scripted debut in three years and argued the number showed strong audience curiosity and momentum. This early view count was the clearest public measure of the show's start, and it helped drive the renewal decision.At the same time, many critics were very negative about the series All's Fair. Reviews in several outlets said the tone felt uneven, the writing seemed weak, and some performances did not land for reviewers. The wide gap between strong early viewing numbers and harsh critic reviews became one of the main stories about the show after it aired. That split between critics and viewers made the show a live debate online soon after the premiere.Why did Hulu renew All's Fair so fast?Hulu's quick renewal of All's Fair appears to be driven mainly by the early viewing figures and the social attention the show generated. Streaming platforms put heavy weight on opening numbers because a strong start can help keep or attract subscribers. Early audience interest can also create social buzz that keeps a show in public view and drives more people to try it. In this case, Hulu's public release of the 3.2 million number showed that the platform saw commercial value despite the poor critic reviews.The involvement of big names in All's Fair helped too. Kim Kardashian is a global public figure with a massive social reach, and Ryan Murphy is a showrunner whose name draws viewers. When stars also take producer roles, platforms often see the project as a longer-term investment because the talent is attached and may help promote future seasons. For Hulu, the mix of celebrity, an established creator, and an initial spike in viewing made an early renewal a reasonable commercial choice.The series - Rio De Janeiro Red Carpet - Source: GettyHulu's internal measure does not always match third-party tallies such as Nielsen's streaming ratings, and different systems can show different results for All's Fair. Nielsen and other firms provide outside measures of streaming performance, and those figures sometimes differ from a platform's internal math. Still, streaming services mainly rely on their own numbers to make business decisions, and Hulu's internal view count and top chart placement were persuasive in this case.What does the renewal of All's Fair mean for the series?A second season of All's Fair gives the writers and producers a chance to build on what worked and to respond to criticism. The first season introduced the world of a high-end divorce firm and set up several personal and legal conflicts. In All's Fair Season 2, the team can choose to deepen character arcs, change the pace, or sharpen the tone to address issues critics raised. The renewal also lets the writers plan longer story arcs and bring back key cast members for further development.For Kim Kardashian, the renewal means more time to grow in a large scripted role that is different from her reality TV work. Playing Allura Grant put her in a dramatic part that reached a wide audience, and more episodes of All's Fair could let her expand the character and face new challenges on screen. Other actors in the cast, such as Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close, may see their roles develop, and the series could also add guest players to broaden the stories and legal fights in the show.The renewal also matters for Hulu's lineup. Platforms often value shows that keep people talking, and that can bring viewers back. A series that sparks debate can drive discovery and more viewing, and the platform may use Season 2 to steady the audience and aim for a better critical response. Renewing early also helps lock in production plans and keeps the creative team and cast aligned for the months ahead.Hulu has not announced a release date for All's Fair Season 2, and details on filming and casting are not public yet. The streaming company will likely share more when the writers and producers are ready to move into production. For now, the fast renewal is the clearest sign that Hulu plans to continue All's Fair and that the series will return with new episodes in the future. Fans and critics will both be watching closely to see how the show grows and whether the second season can change the conversation. More details will follow soon.
