Margo’s Got Money Troubles: First Look, Release Date, and Cast Details
Apple TV+ has released an initial preview for next year’s drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles, featuring Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer in the mother-daughter lead roles. The series is adapted from Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel of the same name and marks another collaboration for Apple TV with veteran writer-producer David E. Kelley. In October 2024, it was announced that Nick Offerman would guest as Jinx, Margo’s father, expanding the family-centered ensemble.
Official synopsis:
A bold, heartfelt, and occasionally humorous family drama follows Margo (Fanning), a recent college dropout and aspiring writer. She navigates life as the daughter of a former Hooter’s waitress (Pfeiffer) and a former pro wrestler (Offerman), now contending with a newborn, a growing pile of bills, and a shrinking array of viable payment options.
Creative team and production details:
David E. Kelley serves as showrunner and writer, with executive producers including Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures; Nicole Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films; and Matthew Tinker for David E. Kelley Productions. Pfeiffer, Thorpe, Eva Anderson, and Boo Killebrew also executive produce. Dearbhla Walsh ( renowned for Bad Sisters and The Handmaid’s Tale) directs the pilot and acts as an executive producer.
This series is Kelley’s latest Apple TV project, following the Emmy-nominated drama Presumed Innocent, which starred Jake Gyllenhaal and is currently in its second season production.
