Halle Berry - Exit in Kardashian-Series
One week after the announcement of her engagement, there is a pullout: Halle Berry (57) is not in the series "All's Fair." According to industry insiders at "Vanity Fair," this was referenced by an insider. Scheduling issues are reportedly the reason for her departure. Berry was not only supposed to appear in front of the camera for the legal series, but also functioned as an executive producer behind the scenes.
Kim Kardashian (43) must therefore give up on a high-profile colleague due to Halle Berry's withdrawal. The reality TV icon and trained lawyer plays the lead role in "All's Fair." In the project, it's about a law firm in Los Angeles made up entirely of women. Kardashian can still count on acting veteran Glenn Close (77), whose involvement was also announced at the same time as Berry's.
"All's Fair" is the first series that Ryan Murphy (58) is producing for another streaming service after the end of his five-year contract with Netflix. The high-gloss series is set to run on the competing streaming service Hulu. Murphy had already cast Kim Kardashian in a supporting role in the latest season of "American Horror Story."
Halle Berry: Not the First Regular Series Role in a Decade
For Halle Berry, "All's Fair" would have been the first regular television role since "Extant." The Oscar winner of 2014-2015 embodied an astronaut in the mystery who inexplicably became pregnant after a space mission in two seasons.
Fans of Halle Berry can console themselves with two new films. "The Union" starts on Netflix on August 16. In the action comedy, Berry plays an agent who recruits her high school sweetheart, played by Mark Wahlberg, for a secret mission. The horror film "Never Let Go" is set to hit theaters on September 26.
Halle Berry's absence from "All's Fair" might have influenced her potential role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming Netflix series, as she hadn't secured a regular television role in a decade since "Extant." Despite this, viewers can still enjoy Berry in two upcoming projects: an action comedy film titled "The Union" on Netflix and a horror film named "Never Let Go" in theaters. Also, Mark Wahlberg is set to star in "The Union."
