Halle Berry’s Other Projects
Despite this setback, Berry remains busy with upcoming film projects. She headlines Netflix’s action thriller “The Union,” premiering August 16, alongside Mark Wahlberg, portraying Roxanne, a character embroiled in the world of espionage. Additionally, she stars in the Lionsgate horror film “Never Let Go,” scheduled for theatrical release on September 27, where she plays a protective mother to twin boys in a harrowing psychological thriller.
Berry has also proven her talents in diverse roles including portraying maternal figures, evident in her upcoming films. In “Never Let Go,” the narrative delves into a gripping tale where familial bonds are tested amidst supernatural horrors, compelling Berry’s character and her sons to cling together in a fight for survival.
“All’s Fair” continues under Murphy’s creative direction, marking a significant project under his new deal with Disney. The series, backed by a robust ensemble including Kardashian and Close as executive producers, has garnered attention not only for its star-studded cast but also for its anticipated portrayal of a dynamic all-female legal team in the heart of California.
Berry’s departure from the series comes amid other developments for “All’s Fair,” such as its inclusion among shows awarded $58 million in tax credits by the California Film Commission. The series is expected to film extensively in California, underscoring its commitment to local production and economic impact.
