Kim Kardashian channels real-life divorce lawyer in Ryan Murphy’s bold new legal drama, All’s Fair

Kim Kardashian’s latest television project is blurring the lines between fiction and reality — and the inspiration behind her role is surprisingly close to home.

In All’s Fair, the new legal drama from acclaimed creator Ryan Murphy, Kardashian plays Allura Grant, a fearless divorce attorney determined to take on Los Angeles’ high-powered legal world. But behind the polished courtroom scenes and gripping cases lies a real-life influence — Kardashian’s own divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser.

In an interview for PEOPLE’s All’s Fair digital cover story, the 45-year-old reality star and entrepreneur revealed that Wasser served as both her muse and a writing consultant for the Hulu and Disney+ series. “Laura happened to be my attorney for two divorces out of the three,” Kardashian explained, referring to her splits from Kanye West and Kris Humphries. “Her dad was also my mom’s attorney during her divorce from my dad, so she’s seen it all. I drew inspiration from seeing what a badass woman she’s been over the years.”

Set in the heart of Los Angeles, All’s Fair follows Allura and her team of fierce female attorneys as they break away from a male-dominated firm to start their own powerhouse practice. The show’s all-star ensemble includes Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Teyana Taylor — each adding depth to the dynamic world of powerful women navigating ambition, loyalty, and love. Guest appearances from Judith Light, Brooke Shields, Jessica Simpson, and Rick Springfield further amplify the star power.

Murphy, known for his boundary-pushing television hits, reportedly built the series around Kardashian after collaborating with her on American Horror Story: Delicate. Initially, Murphy had pitched her a reality-inspired concept — which she promptly declined. “I told him that wasn’t something I’d be into,” Kardashian admitted, laughing. “I think he was shocked.”

Instead, the two found common ground in her ongoing pursuit of a legal career. Murphy then envisioned a show that blended Kardashian’s law journey with his signature storytelling flair — and All’s Fair was born.

Kardashian, who has spent years studying law through California’s apprenticeship program, was actually preparing for the bar exam while filming the show. “She was studying and running lines at the same time,” recalled co-star Naomi Watts. “She crushed it daily.” Fellow cast members praised her dedication, with Glenn Close noting that it was “inspiring to see women supporting women both on and off set.”

Beyond its legal drama, All’s Fair celebrates female resilience and independence — themes that mirror Kardashian’s own transformation from reality TV star to business mogul and aspiring attorney.

Filmed primarily across Greater Los Angeles, the production utilized iconic Hollywood backdrops, including Sunset Las Palmas Studios and Malibu’s sun-drenched beaches. With the California Film Commission granting the project $14 million in tax credits, the production hired more than 400 local crew members, further tying the series to its LA roots.

The highly anticipated series premieres on Hulu and Disney+ on November 4, 2025, with three debut episodes followed by weekly releases through December 23. While the plot of the first episode remains tightly under wraps, early teasers promise a blend of courtroom tension, scandal, and empowerment.

As Murphy described it, All’s Fair is “a show about powerful women rewriting the rules — in law, in love, and in life.”
