Elle Fanning doesn’t have money trouble
Margo’s Got Money Troubles stars and is executive produced by Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Golden Globe Award nominee Elle Fanning; Golden Globe Award winner, and Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer; and Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Nicole Kidman. The series follows a college dropout who recently had a baby and has resorted to opening an OnlyFans to raise money for the support of her and her child.
Just like OnlyFans subscribers, the viewers are craving for more content and Deadline reports that the streamer has renewed Margo’s Got Money Troubles for a second season.
The Apple TV dramedy also stars Emmy Award winner Nick Offerman and Thaddea Graham. It hails from A24 and multi-Emmy Award winner David E. Kelley, and is based on Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel of the same name.
Elle’s sister, Dakota Fanning, also serves as an executive producer along with Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures; Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films; and Matthew Tinker for David E. Kelley Productions. Rufi Thorpe, Eva Anderson and Boo Killebrew are also on board as executive producers. Dearbhla Walsh directed the pilot in addition to executive producing.
The official synopsis reads, “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.”
What did we think of season one?
Our Alex Maidy really enjoyed the first season of Margo’s Got Money Troubles and gave it an 8 out of 10 in his review. He said, “I was sold on Margo’s Got Money Troubles based on the trailer, but it was the earnest performances from Elle Fanning, Nick Offerman, and Michelle Pfeiffer that kept me coming back for more. Each chapter is engaging, sweet, and makes you feel good, even when you start to feel bad when things go wrong for the characters. The series finale manages to upend expectations by offering a happy ending, but not a flawless one. I know that Margo’s Got Money Troubles is designed as a limited series that covers the events of the novel, but this could easily be a cast of characters worth revisiting to see where they go next. David E. Kelley has experience expanding source material into ongoing shows (Big Little Lies), but if the story of Margo and her money troubles ends here, it will have been a satisfying journey.”
