Margo may have money problems, but she\u2019s lousy with movie stars, at least according to our first look at the new Apple TV series from David E. Kelly, Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles. Returning to television following the cancellation of The Great, Elle Fanning (Predator: Badlands<\/a> and Sentimental Value<\/a>) stars as Margo, the titular fiscally troubled young woman, as she tries to make ends meet, alongside a cast that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Nick Offerman, Marcia Gay Harden, and Greg Kinnear. Produced by A24 for Apple TV, Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles is Kelley\u2019s follow-up to last summer\u2019s hit mystery, Presumed Innocent<\/a>, currently in production for season two. Margo takes on a slightly more comedic tone, following a young woman who has an affair with a professor, gets pregnant, and uses her estranged father\u2019s (Offerman) pro-wrestling skills to make a killing on OnlyFans.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the synopsis:<\/p>\n

Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles is a bold, heartwarming, and comedic family drama following recent college dropout and aspiring writer, Margo (Fanning), the daughter of an ex-Hooter\u2019s waitress (Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler, as she\u2019s forced to make her way with a new baby, a mounting pile of bills and a dwindling amount of ways to pay them.<\/p>\n

Based on Rufi Thorpe\u2019s bestseller, the eight-episode first season of Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles premieres on April 15, 2026, with three episodes, with two new episodes streaming every Wednesday through May 20.<\/p>\n
