Watch: Women Legal Eagles Slay in Teaser for Ryan Murphy's 'All's Fair'
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A teaser has dropped for the Ryan Murphy-helmed legal drama "All's Fair," in which an all-star team of woman attorneys – played by Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close – help their clients get revenge on the men who have done them wrong.
Also seen in the clip, Variety relayed, are cast members Niecy Nash-Betts, Matthew Noszka, Teyana Taylor, and Naomi Watts.
The show centers on a group of attorneys who band together to form an elite legal boutique to represent well-heeled women in divorce proceedings. It's evidently a lucrative field... but one that demands a blend of cool ruthlessness and white-hot passion for the work. The two-minute teaser is packed with juicy scenes of the lawyers telling their sobbing clients not to apologize for their tears ("We don't talk to sorry people," Watts' character, named Liberty Ronson, advises).
"He hurt you," Close's Dina Standish advises another client. "Get mad. Get hot. Get revenge!" A close-up of a foot in a high-heeled shoe crushing a cigarette drives the point home.
Their approach to male adversaries is equally confident. "What do you ladies think you can possibly hit me with that I haven't seen before?" a contemptuous man sneers across a well-appointed conference room's table.
"You're right," smiles Kardashian's character, Allura Grant, as Nash-Betts' Emerald Greene wields a video remote. "Everything we're going to show you today, you should be intimately familiar with."

The show's log line explains that the cadre of women "leave a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. 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," the description adds, "they change it."
In a cascade of images, the lawyers enjoy opulent settings, hot men, upscale fashions, and bracing one-liners like the one Paulson's Carrington Lane delivers upon tasting a cup of coffee: "That's bitter," she exclaims with a whistle. "Just like all the women who own this joint."
The drop also came with a smattering of first-look still images, Deadline noted.
"No official premiere date has been set, but the show is slated to launch in the fall on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally," Variety detailed.
