Apple TV has released a sneak peek at upcoming star-studded series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, starring Elle Fanning as a new mum with a plan. Set to release on 15 April 2026, the series adapts Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel of the same name.
As the book has been called one that gets you “immediately hooked” — by prolific novelist Jacqueline Wilson (via Amazon) — the series stars Fanning in the titular role.
Created by Emmy-winning showrunner David E Kelley, Margo’s Got Money Troubles also stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Offerman.
Hailed as a “bold, heartwarming, and comedic” family drama, the series follows Margo, the daughter of an ex-Hooter’s waitress (Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler (Offerman).

Now on Apple TV is Vince Gilligan’s new series, Pluribus. The Emmy-winning screenwriter returns with a dystopian series led by Rhea Seehorn, who previously played Kim Wexler on Gilligan’s Breaking Bad acclaimed spinoff series, Better Call Saul.
Seehorne plays Carol Sturka, a bitter romantasy novel who’s one of the only 13 people in the world who are immune to the “Joining”, a merging that turns all the humans on earth into a benevolent hive mind only known as “Us”.
As a suspicious Carol uncovers there may be something more sinister behind the peaceful appearance of the Joined, she tries to make contact with the other immune individuals, with mixed results.
The series premiered in early November on Apple TV and is set to airs its season finale on 26 December.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles will be streaming on Apple TV on 15 April 2026.
