This is a huge deal for Kardashian. It puts her alongside the two top actresses, who have wowed audiences for years. Not even big stars like Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, or Reese Witherspoon have acted with both Berry and Close before. But the 43-year-old did it.

Before All’s Fair, Kim Kardashian dipped her toes into acting with American Horror Story, and Ocean’s Eight. She even played a fictional version of herself on How I Met Your Mother. But now, she’s taking a big leap forward by landing a major role in a top-notch production.

Director Ryan Murphy described the series as “a high-end, glossy and sexy adult procedural” (as reported by Deadline). Berry and Close will star alongside Kardashian in roles at an all-women law firm. The script is by Jon Robin Baitz, known for writing for Murphy’s other projects. Details about Halle Berry and Glenn Close’s characters are being kept secret for now.

The show is about a women’s law firm in LA, which suits Kardashian as she has been pursuing a law degree since 2018. Kim K is studying law to honor her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who was an attorney.

She said in an interview with GQ that she was inspired by watching the O.J. Simpson trial as a kid and wants to carry on her father’s work. Kardashian is focused on changing how the justice system works. She hopes to pass the California Bar Exam next year and become a lawyer herself one day.

All’s Fair brings Glenn Close back to legal dramas after she played the tough lawyer Patty Hewes in Damages, earning lots of praise. Close has been nominated for eight Oscars and an incredible 14 Emmys (winning three), showing how great she is at acting.

Halle Berry, who made history as the first woman of color to win the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Monster’s Ball, adds her special talent to the project. Being on screen with these big-name actors is a huge validation for Kardashian.

It means that Hollywood’s respected stars are open to seeing her in a serious acting role. The mom of four’s path from reality TV to studying law and now acting alongside Hollywood’s best stars, is nothing short of phenomenal.
