Just days before Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry joined the cast of Kim Kardashian’s new Hulu series All’s Fair, she’s quickly exited the show.
It was reported last week that Berry, 57, and Glenn Close, 77, would join the reality-star-turned actress Kardashian, 43 in the series.
However, a new report reveals that Berry is dropping out of the project due to scheduling conflicts, via Variety.
It would have been one of the rare major TV roles in her illustrious career, following the CBS sci-fi series Extant, which ran two seasons from 2014-2015.
It’s unclear at the moment who will step in to replace Berry in the series, and it’s unknown what character she’ll be playing.
