Was it a case of bad timing, or is the universe just making room for Berry’s next big move?

Halle Apparently Had A Scheduling Conflict

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Halle remained positive about the situation. “You know, things happen for a reason,” she said, seemingly unfazed by the last-minute change. “I would have loved to have been there with those ladies, and I know it’s gonna be great,” she added during the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, The Union, on August 12.

But in true Halle fashion, she couldn’t leave without giving a nod to Ryan Murphy, “It’s Ryan Murphy! I mean, you know, duh, but next time.”

Despite Berry’s departure, All’s Fair is still shaping up to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year. The Hulu drama, which will center around an all-female law firm in Los Angeles, will see Kim, 43, stepping into the role of a high-powered divorce attorney. And for those who still think of Kardashian as just a reality TV star, think again. She’s been making waves in the acting world too.

Kim Wants To Focus On Her Acting Career

Kim Kardashian gives interview at the OMR Festival.

Kim’s acting chops have been under the spotlight lately, especially after her recent stint in FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate. While the reality star might be better known for her life in front of the reality TV cameras, she’s expressed a strong desire to pivot into more serious acting roles.

For example, in the last season of The Kardashians, Kim revealed her ambitions to expand her acting career, showing that she’s more than ready to move beyond the reality TV persona that made her a household name.

And All’s Fair isn’t Kardashian’s only acting gig on the horizon. She’s also set to star in and executive produce an original Netflix movie, cleverly titled The Fifth Wheel. Netflix teased the project last November, noting that Kardashian will be working alongside producer and writer Paula Pell and writer Janine Brito. The comedy project, which Kardashian pitched herself, marks another bold step in her evolving career.

But while Kim and Glen will continue to lead All’s Fair with some serious star power—Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Naomi Watts, and Teyana Taylor are also on board—the absence of Halle Berry is sure to be felt. After all, Halle’s presence in any project is usually a game-changer, and the thought of her sharing the screen with these incredible women had fans buzzing.

So, what’s next for Halle? It’s clear that, despite the setback, the Oscar winner isn’t slowing down. Her decision to step away from All’s Fair might have left a gap in the cast, but knowing Halle, she’s probably already got her eyes on another project that will showcase her incredible talent. As she said, “things happen for a reason,” and for Halle, that reason might just be her next big hit.
