Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Naomi Watts are joining Glenn Close and Kim Kardashian on “All’s Fair,” the new Hulu legal ensemble drama in the works from executive producer Ryan Murphy. Watts, Nash and Paulson will join Close and Kardashian as exec producers on the show as well.

Little has been revealed about “All’s Fair” so far, other than the logline that Kardashian — who recently made a splash as star of Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Delicate” — will play a Los Angeles divorce lawyer in an all-female law firm, headed by Close’s character.

News of the new castings comes just weeks after Variety broke the news that Halle Berry had dropped out of the project due to a scheduling conflict. According to insiders, none of the new stars are replacing Berry; instead, new roles have been written for Paulson, Nash, Taylor and Watts.
