Summary

• Ryan Murphy's legal drama All's Fair looks promising with a star-studded cast.
• The show centers on an all-female law firm in Los Angeles.
• Murphy should consider moving on from American Horror Story after a decline in quality.

While American Horror Story continues its course, and I’m still interested in what Ryan Murphy still has to offer in it, I’m all-in on his legal show All’s Fair. Ryan Murphy has become one of the most respected and popular TV producers in recent years. Murphy has risen to fame thanks to his work on TV shows like Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, and Pose, all of them created by him. Despite the variety in his TV work, Murphy is best known for his mix of drama, thriller, and sometimes horror.

Murphy’s biggest current project is American Horror Story, which, at the time of writing, recently ended its 12th season, titled Delicate. American Horror Story has been renewed for a 13th season, and while the world waits for the next season, Murphy has other projects lined up. Murphy has another horror TV series coming in 2024 titled Grotesquerie, the anthology series American Sports Story, and the medical TV series Dr. Odyssey. Another project of Murphy’s is the legal drama All’s Fair, which, so far, is more exciting than the future of American Horror Story.

Ryan Murphy's All's Fair Sounds More Exciting Than American Horror Story

All's Fair Looks Very Promising

What’s known so far about All’s Fair is that it centers on an all-female law firm in Los Angeles.

Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair is a legal drama set to premiere on Hulu at a still unknown date. All’s Fair is currently in pre-production, and more and more casting news are being revealed. What’s known so far about All’s Fair is that it centers on an all-female law firm in Los Angeles, but specific plot details are still a mystery. Although that sounds promising and is enough to attract my attention, what makes All’s Fair exciting is its cast so far, with some well-known Murphy collaborators and more.

At the time of writing, All’s Fair will count on the talents of Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, Kim Kardashian, and Sarah Paulson, the latter two being part of Murphy’s American Horror Story family. Kardashian made her AHS debut in Delicate and pretty much stole the season with her surprisingly good performance, so it’s not that surprising that she’s teaming up with Murphy one more time.

However, what makes me more excited about All’s Fair is Sarah Paulson’s casting. Paulson is one of Murphy’s best-known American Horror Story collaborators, but she hasn’t been part of the show since Double Feature, in 2021. It’s going to be exciting to see Paulson back in the Murphyverse in a project very different from American Horror Story but with the signature drama and style of a Ryan Murphy project.

Why Ryan Murphy Should Move On From American Horror Story

American Horror Story Might Have Extended Its Welcome

American Horror Story hasn’t been able to continue the quality and success of its first seasons.

As much as I love American Horror Story, it might be time for it to end. American Horror Story hasn’t been able to continue the quality and success of its first seasons, and it seems to have lost its essence in recent seasons. Double Feature was a messy disappointment, NYC was an improvement, and Delicate fell short and was unbelievably underwhelming and disappointing.

As mentioned above, American Horror Story has one more season to go, and it would be fitting to end the show with its 13th season. Ryan Murphy has proven he can make engaging TV shows from pretty much any genre, and it’s time he closes the American Horror Story chapter and moves on with other, more exciting projects, like All's Fair.
