Halle Berry exits the Ryan Murphy legal drama All’s Fair days after being announced as part of the cast. First announced in December 2023, and coming off the resurgence of Suits on streaming, All’s Fair is set for Hulu. Although exact plots are being kept under wraps, the story will focus on an all-women law firm in Los Angeles. But now, only a short time after two top stars were announced as joining lead and executive producer Kim Kardashian, there’s been a change to the ensemble.

Variety confirms that Berry is leaving All’s Fair due to scheduling conflicts. The departure was announced just a week after the Oscar winner was revealed as part of the Hulu series, both on-camera and as an executive producer. Eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close remains part of the Hulu show, although, like Berry, specific character details are so far unknown.

What’s Next For Halle Berry?

The Monster’s Ball Star Has Two Movies Coming Out.

Berry has two movies coming out in the next few months. The first, The Union, will be released on Netflix on August 16. An action comedy, which features Mark Wahlberg as the co-lead, along with Whiplash star J.K. Simmons and Mike Colter (Luke Cage, Evil), the story follows Wahlberg’s construction worker as his former high school girlfriend (played by Berry) pulls him into a dangerous world. The Union is directed by Julian Farino, with Joe Barton and David Guggenheim writing the screenplay.

Berry will also lead the survival horror movie Never Let Go by director Alexander Aja, who previously helmed the 2019 survival film Crawl. It focuses on a family, a mother and her twin sons, and what happens when one of the boys starts to doubt the existence of the malevolent force that’s been haunting the family for years. It will be released by Lionsgate on September 27, with Percy Daggs IV, Anthony B. Jenkins, Matthew Kevin Anderson, Christin Park, and Stephanie Lavigne also starring.

Berry, who won the Oscar for her leading role in 2001’s Monster’s Ball, is also attached to two projects: the comedic Maude vs. Maude, with Angelina Jolie, and the cult thriller The Process. As for All’s Fair, which Murphy writes and directs, in addition to his role as executive producer, the prolific creator is known for building casts that include a mix of established actors, relative newcomers, and unexpected choices. It will be interesting to see who follows after this unexpected exit.
