If All’s Fair wasn’t already serving enough glamour, power suits, and high-stakes legal drama, the new cast additions are bringing some serious gay sparkle to the courtroom. Nyle DiMarco is joining Season 2 of All’s Fair, and he’s bringing some very fabulous company with him: Monét X Change, Bob the Drag Queen, Lady Bunny, and Daya Betty are also stepping into the Ryan Murphy universe.
Honestly, we love a glamorous female-led lineup. Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, and Teyana Taylor already make All’s Fair feel like a full-blown fashion week front row. But adding DiMarco and a collection of drag royalty? Suddenly, the courtroom has a little more… pizzazz.

Nyle DiMarco Is Bringing the Deaf Representation
DiMarco, the model, actor, activist, and director, is taking on a role that was originally written as a hearing character. According to Deadline, the character is being adapted specifically for DiMarco, who is deaf in real life.
And frankly, that kind of casting change makes the role even more interesting. Rather than simply stepping into a character as originally written, DiMarco’s real-life experience is becoming part of how the character will exist on screen.
The actor is no stranger to making history, either. From winning America’s Next Top Model and Dancing With the Stars to becoming a prominent advocate for the Deaf community, DiMarco has built a career that goes well beyond looking ridiculously good on camera. And yes, we will absolutely be appreciating that too.
Drag Queens? In This Economy? We Win.
Then there’s the drag lineup.
Monét X Change, Bob the Drag Queen, Lady Bunny, and Daya Betty joining the series is exactly the kind of casting news that makes the gays sit up a little straighter. We don’t know all the details of their characters yet, but honestly, do we need to? Put Lady Bunny anywhere near a room full of powerful lawyers and we already know the potential for drama is delicious.
According to Deadline, Season 2 promises more scandals, secrets, stilettos, shifting alliances, tested friendships, and one major revelation that could threaten the entire law firm. The official synopsis teases the return of the lawyers at Grant, Ronson & Greene as their complicated professional and personal lives get even messier.
All’s Fair Is About to Get Even Fabbier
Season 2 of All’s Fair premieres October 24 in Rome at the Auditorium Parco della Musica as part of the festival’s Freestyle section, before making its streaming debut November 5 exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu.
So, basically, All’s Fair is coming back with more power, more drama, more fashion, and now a little extra queer sparkle.
The courtroom has officially been warned. The gays are clocking in.
