As we barrel through December, counting the days until the holiday madness truly begins, networks and streamers are working overtime to maintain a stranglehold on people’s attention spans by teasing projects set for release in 2026. Today, Apple TV is sharing a first look at Margo’s Got Money Troubles, a new drama series starring Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon, Predator: Badlands, Maleficent) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The First Lady) coming to the streaming network next year.
What’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles about?
Here’s the official synopsis for Margo’s Got Money Troubles, courtesy of Apple TV:
“A bold, heartwarming, and comedic family drama following recent college dropout and aspiring writer, Margo (Elle Fanning), the daughter of an ex-Hooter’s waitress (Michelle Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler (Nick Offerman), as she’s forced to make her way with a new baby, a mounting pile of bills and a dwindling amount of ways to pay them.”
Who stars in the new comedic drama?
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Rufi Thorpe, Margo’s Got Money Troubles also stars Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation, Devs, The Umbrella Academy) as Jinx, Margo’s dad. In addition to the three leads, the comedic drama also features Nicole Kidman, Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Thaddea Graham, Lindsey Normington, Marcia Gay Harden, and Rico Nasty, completing the cast.
