Halle Berry has cut ties with Ryan Murphy’s forthcoming Hulu legal drama, All’s Fair.
The Oscar-winner is no longer attached to star in the project, on which she was also set to serve as an executive producer, Variety reports.
Berry’s exit comes just over a week after news broke that she would be starring in the series alongside film icon Glenn Close and American Horror Story: Delicate star Kim Kardashian.
According to the outlet, Berry’s decision to back out from involvement in the new series — which marks Murphy’s first series in his deal with Disney — stems from a scheduling conflict.
All’s Fair has been described as a sexy legal drama that follows Kardashian as a top Los Angeles divorce lawyer and an all-female law firm.
Details regarding the nature of what Berry’s role would have been has not yet been released.
Berry currently is gearing up for the release of two films this year, including the action caper The Union, opposite Mark Wahlberg — which premieres Aug. 16 on Netflix — and the tense horror thriller Never Let Go, which hits theaters Sept. 27.
Berry spoke with ET back in April, and reflected on how being a mom influenced her performance in Never Let Go, which tells the story of a malevolent spirit menacing a mother and her young children.
“You know, we say as mama bears … we say, ‘I will take a bullet for my kids. I will do anything for my kids.’ This gave me an opportunity to really play that scenario out, right, to really take a bullet for my kids. Like, really put my life out there for them in a real way,” Berry said.
The actress is the mother of daughter Nahla, 16, whom she shares with ex Gabriel Aubry and son, Maceo, 10, who she shares with ex Olivier Martinez.
“So, yes, I think of my real kids every step of the way,” Berry added. “It’s who I am. It’s what makes me.”
