Alls Fair cast reveal how season 2 "doubles down" on camp tone - and why you'll need to "pin your wig down"

Alls Fair is back on Disney+ for an anticipated second season of the star-studded legal drama.

For fans who devoured the camp storylines and performances in the first outing of Ryan Murphy's series, they'll be pleased to know that the show has doubled down on what made season one so enjoyable.

Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts spoke about what fans can expect in season two, and why they've doubled down on the fun.

Kardashian explained: "I'm really excited about this season because I feel like we really figured out the kind of show were supposed to be, the tone of it. I think we were a little bit more series last season, and we realised the audience really loved the funny moments and the camp moments. So, we really just doubled down and leaned into that. I'm excited to see how funny it is, and how crazy it is!"

Paulson, who plays the camp villain Carrington, added: "She's really wild. This year, I think there's a little bit of a softening of her, and I don't mean that it goes away entirely because it does not. But there's something that happens to her in the season that makes her a little bit softer for a moment..."

Nash-Betts continued: "I found myself reading a script, and I had to take my glasses off and rub my eyes, put them back on, get up, put the light on, and say, 'Now say what now?". There are definitely some things that you will want to have your wig pinned down for because it might blow back..."

Kardashian also spoke about the criticism received for season one, saying her resilience helped her get through it, with this same determination being channelled into her strong character, Allura.

She said: "I think it helped me manage the release of season one and hearing all of the critics' reaction to the show. I think I was able to really manage that in a first experience. I think my life experience and now being in a show where it's all about women and how powerful they are means I channel a lot of the women in my life when I'm playing Allura. I think it helped."

The all-star cast for All's Fair season 2 also features the likes of Teyana Taylor, Noah Fearnley and eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close.

All's Fair is available to watch on Disney+ in the UK. You can sign up to Disney+ from £4.99 a month now.
