Margo’s Got Money Troubles, one of the upcoming book-to-screen adaptations, is on the way and could possibly find a spot on the list of best Apple TV+ original series. But when will that happen and what is this upcoming A24 show all about?
If this is the first you’re hearing about Margo’s Got Money Troubles, no need to fret, as we have a full breakdown of everything that has been announced about the show so far, including the multiple ways Elle Fannings is involved, who else is attached to star, and several other details.
What Is The Margo’s Got Money Troubles Premiere Date?
It’s hard to say when those with an Apple TV+ subscription will be able to watch the show, as the streaming service has yet to announce a Margo’s Got Money Troubles premiere date. But since we’re so late into the year, it’s all but guaranteed that it won’t find a place on the 2024 TV schedule. However, it is much more likely that we will be seeing the show debut at some point on the 2025 TV schedule, which is already starting to fill up. We’ll have to wait and see.
What Is Margo's Got Money Troubles About?
When Margo’s Got Money Troubles lands on Apple TV+, it will follow a young college student who tries to make sense of her life after a brief affair with her college professor finds her living as a single mom. The 20-year-old, forced to come up with a way to support herself and her child, decides to create an OnlyFans account for extra income.
However, with the help of her dad and his vast knowledge of the wrestling business after years in the ring, Margot Millet creates a dynamic character and presence that quickly translates to fans of her own and more cash than she knows what to do with.
The Margo’s Got Money Troubles Cast
The Margo’s Got Money Troubles cast will certainly grow tremendously between now and the time of production, but it’s already off to a great start. Here’s everyone that’s been announced for the upcoming Apple TV+ series so far.
Elle Fanning as Margo Millet
According to Deadline, Elle Fanning will lead the Margo’s Got Money Troubles cast as Margo Millet, the daughter of a Hooters waitress and former professional wrestler who becomes a major hit on OnlyFans. A successful former child star who appeared in everything from Studio Ghibli classics like My Neighbor Totoro and more recent shows like Great, Fanning has dozens of credits to her name. And that list will soon grow larger when Fanning takes on one of the leading roles in James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, the Timothee Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic.
Michelle Pfeiffer as Shyanne
Michelle Pfeiffer will be taking on the role of Shyanne, Margo Millet’s mother, in Margo’s Got Money Troubles. In September 2024, Deadline reported that the Golden Globe-winning actress would be playing the former Hooter’s waitress and Bloomingdale’s retail worker. Pfeiffer’s most recent small-screen appearance was on The First Lady, where she took on the role of Betty Ford.
Nick Offerman as Jinx
Nick Offerman, who won an Emmy for his brief yet poignant performance on The Last Us, will be joining the Margo’s Got Money Troubles cast as Jinx, Margo’s father and a former wrestler, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The long-time star of Parks and Recreation has more than what it takes to play a former professional wrestler who helps his daughter get an unorthodox business prospect off the ground.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman, who is also producing the series alongside Elle and Dakota Fanning, is set to appear in the series, but her character’s identity has yet to be announced. Regardless of her role, the two-time Emmy Award winner is fully capable of handling both drama and comedy, which may come in handy when approaching an adaptation like this.
The Show Is Based On Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 Novel Of The Same Name
The show is based on Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 novel, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and was announced by The Hollywood Reporter more than six months before readers actually got a chance to grab the book from store shelves. Published by HarperCollins imprint William Morrow, the much-talked-about novel received heaps of praise from publications like the New York Times upon its initial publication.
When Can We Expect A Margo’s Got Money Troubles Trailer?
Considering we don’t have a premiere date, a fully announced cast, or any word on when production will get started, it’s hard to say when we’ll see a Margo’s Got Money Troubles trailer. But if Apple TV+ ends up releasing the show in 2025, it should only be a matter of months before we get our first glimpse at the highly anticipated series.
David E. Kelley Will Serve As The Margot’s Got Money Troubles Showrunner
Back in February 2024 when Deadline was sharing all kinds of details about Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the outlet announced that David E. Kelley, who had been attached to the project for several months at that point, would be writing, producing, and serving as showrunner. The Emmy Award-winning TV writer and producer has created or produced shows like Ally McBeal, the critically acclaimed Presumed Innocent, and Big Little Lies over the years, the latter of which featured Nicole Kidman in a major capacity.
How Many Episodes Will There Be?
According to Variety, Margo’s Got Money Troubles will play out over the course of eight episodes, which isn’t too long and not too short. We’re not sure how long each of those episodes will be or how Apple TV+ will release them, but we should know more about both of these questions in the coming months.
Elle Fanning Narrates The Margo's Got Money Troubles Audiobook
If you want to check out Margo’s Got Money Troubles before the show lands on Apple TV+, you can either pick up the novel at most retailers or seek out the audiobook version, which is read by Elle Fanning. In June 2024, People shared a five-minute excerpt from the first chapter of the audiobook, and it gives you a taste of what to expect from the rest of the story if you choose to carry on.
Expect to hear much more about Margo’s Got Money Troubles in the coming weeks and months, as information should become more available in no time at all.
