All’s Fair Season 1 Episode 5 Release Date Revealed: Plot Teases and What’s Next
Critics gave it a 4% on Rotten Tomatoes, but viewers showed up anyway: Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair, with Kim Kardashian as a high-powered LA divorce attorney leading an all-female firm, just scored the biggest scripted original premiere in Hulu history.
Ryan Murphy's new legal soap 'All's Fair' has been a conversation starter from minute one. Critics absolutely torched it (we're talking a 4% Rotten Tomatoes score), and yet it still opened huge on streaming: around 3.2 million viewers in its first three days, making it Hulu's most-watched scripted original premiere, per The Wrap. So yes, the takes are loud, and the audience is louder.
Where and when to watch Episode 5
Episode 5 is titled 'This Is Me Trying' and is slated to drop on November 18, 2025. Hulu says new episodes release weekly on Thursdays at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET, which makes that date a little odd on the calendar. If that mismatch holds, just keep an eye on your app at the usual overnight window.
You can stream the new episode on Hulu. It's also on Disney+ if you have the bundle.
- United States (PT): 12:00 a.m. PT
- United States (ET): 3:00 a.m. ET
- United Kingdom: 8:00 a.m. GMT
- Central Europe: 9:00 a.m. CET
- India: 1:30 p.m. IST
- Australia (AEDT): 7:00 p.m. AEDT
Season 1 runs 10 episodes total, which means this week is the halfway mark. The finale is currently expected in late December, so there is plenty of luxury-law-firm chaos still to come.
What Episode 5 is actually about (as far as they'll say)
'Carr needs help.'
That is the entire official synopsis. Carr, as in Carrington 'Carr' Lane, is Sarah Paulson's high-powered rival divorce attorney who has been coming for Allura and her firm since the pilot. Up to now, she has functioned as the show's main antagonist. A title like 'This Is Me Trying' plus that three-word logline suggests we might finally see a crack in Carr's armor — a vulnerable pivot, a personal mess bleeding into the professional, or some uneasy alignment with the team she loves to hate. It's thin, but the implication is character development rather than just another courtroom broadside.
Quick refresher on the show (and why people are yelling)
Kim Kardashian plays Allura Grant, a star divorce lawyer who runs an all-women firm in Los Angeles. The cases are splashy, the wardrobes are designer, and the personal drama swims right alongside the legal theatrics. The ensemble is stacked: Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, and Glenn Close all factor in.
The split-screen reaction has been wild — critics piled on, but viewers showed up in a big way. If you're in for glossy courtroom combat with a side of messy relationships, it's delivering exactly that. 'All's Fair' is streaming now on Hulu and Disney+.
