Every year, the TV landscape delivers a mix of critical darlings and outright disasters. While 2025 brought us hits like The Pitt and Adolescence, it also gave us a show that critics couldn't stop panning—yet audiences couldn't stop watching. That show is All's Fair, and it's back for a second season this November.
Created by Ryan Murphy, the series follows a high-powered divorce firm where the lawyers are just as messy as their clients. Despite a dismal 6% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the show found a devoted fanbase, earning a 65% audience score and hitting number one on Hulu and Disney+ during its initial run. Now, the star-studded cast—including Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor, and Sarah Paulson—returns for more courtroom chaos.
What to Expect in Season 2
The new season picks up with the firm taking on more divorce cases, and the drama is amped up. In the three-episode premiere, Allura (Kardashian) throws an extravagant ball, but an uninvited guest threatens to stir up trouble. The team also joins Dina (Close) to scatter her late husband's ashes, which leads to unexpected complications. Allura gets a new bodyguard who may not be what he seems, and Thanksgiving plans are put on hold as the ladies tackle a case that keeps them at the office, with secrets bubbling to the surface.
Why Critics Hate It, But Fans Love It
The show's polarizing nature is part of its appeal. Collider's Taylor Gates called it "awful" and suggested Murphy should be "in TV jail," while The Atlantic's Sophie Gilbert described it as "Instagram Reels at episode length." Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter criticized Kardashian's performance as "stiff and affectless." Yet, for many viewers, that's exactly the point. All's Fair doesn't take itself too seriously—it's flashy, fashion-forward, and unapologetically campy. If you want to see Sarah Paulson jump on a table and scream her lungs out, this is the show for you.
If you're looking for something more grounded, you might prefer Helen Mirren's wild meta drama or Kevin Costner's Robin Hood returning to streaming. But if you're ready to embrace the chaos, All's Fair is your guilty pleasure.
When and Where to Watch
All's Fair Season 2 premieres on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally. The first three episodes will be available at launch. Stay tuned for more updates as the season unfolds.
