Sarah Paulson is looking forward to acting with Kim Kardashian in the legal drama All’s Fair.
The 49-year-old star will feature alongside the reality queen in Ryan Murphy‘s series about an all-female divorce law firm and expects to have a ‘great time’ with Kardashian based on the pair’s previous meetings.
‘She’s always been so lovely to me the few times I’ve met her, and I have no reason to think anything other than like it’s going to be a great, great, good time,’ the Ratched star raved to Us Weekly at the premiere of her new film, Hold Your Breath, on Friday.
The Golden Globe added: ‘My experience with Kim Kardashian has always been one of real joy. I love watching The Kardashians.’
Kim has previously acted in the anthology series American Horror Story: Delicate and Paulson has no intention of questioning her ability as a performer.

She said: ‘I feel like we live in a scary world right now where there’s a lot of terrifying aspects to just being alive, in terms of living on the planet we’re living on. And certainly one of the things to be celebrated is the idea of a bunch of women coming together to make a TV show.’
Paulson also told Yahoo Entertainment that she ‘absolutely’ thinks it is ‘time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress.’
‘She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate,’ the actress continued.
The Tampa native predicted that their upcoming show ‘is going to be a tremendous amount of fun’ and Kardashian will be ‘glorious on it.’
‘I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero,’ she said of Kardashian’s abilities.
Kardashian, 43, is currently studying to become an attorney and is excited that she will be able to explore the same world on screen in the show.
She told Variety earlier this year: ‘I’m going to be playing a high-powered divorce attorney. I will be channeling Laura Wasser if that resonates with anybody… I’m really excited about it. That confidence that [Ryan] believes in me to take this project on means so much to me. It feels so right as a character that I could be a lawyer in real life and play one on TV.’
All’s Fair was first announced in December and it is the first series under Murphy’s new overall deal at Disney.

The show will follow Kim playing the powerful divorce lawyer in Los Angeles, who runs a successful all-female law firm.
It will be inspired by Kardashian’s actual lawyer, Laura Wasser, who represented her in divorce proceedings with Kanye West and Kris Humphries.
All’s Fair is created by Jon Robin Baitz (Brothers & Sisters, Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans) and Joe Baken.
Kim will also star opposite several acclaimed actresses, including Glenn Close, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash.
Halle Berry was forced to drop out of the show’s A-list cast due to a scheduling conflict just days after her addition was confirmed.
