Margo’s Got Money Troubles is an eight-episode comedy-drama series on Apple TV+, premiering April 15, 2026, with three episodes and new episodes weekly through the finale on May 20, 2026. Based on Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 novel of the same name and produced by A24, the series is created and written by David E. Kelley, whose previous Apple TV+ work includes Presumed Innocent. Elle Fanning stars as Margo Millet, a twenty-year-old college dropout who turns to OnlyFans to support herself and her newborn son after an affair with her English professor derails her plans. The show was renewed for a second season ahead of the season one finale.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles Cast
Elle Fanning plays Margo Millet, the daughter of a former Hooters waitress and an ex-professional wrestler, navigating new motherhood, mounting debt, and the complications of building an OnlyFans career while the people around her pull in different directions. Nick Offerman plays Jinx, Margo’s estranged father, a broke retired wrestler who shows up at her door and brings his own complicated history with him. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Shyanne, Margo’s mother, whose relationship with her religious boyfriend Kenny, played by Greg Kinnear, gives the show its sharpest generational friction.
Nicole Kidman plays a wrestler turned lawyer whose connection to both Jinx and Margo’s situation carries significant weight across the season. The ensemble also includes Thaddea Graham, Michael Angarano, Marcia Gay Harden, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington. Margo’s Got Money Troubles marks David E. Kelley’s fourth collaboration with Nicole Kidman, following Big Little Lies, The Undoing, and Nine Perfect Strangers.
