Today at the Apple TV 2026 Press Day, the stars of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, alongside prolific storyteller David E. Kelley, took the stage to unveil a teaser and shared a glimpse into the star-studded new series starring and executive produced by Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Elle Fanning, Golden Globe winner and Oscar and Emmy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer and Oscar and Emmy winner Nicole Kidman. The ensemble cast is also led by Emmy Award winner Nick Offerman and Thaddea Graham.
Hailing from A24 and multi-Emmy Award winner Kelley, and based on Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel of the same name, the eight-episode Apple Original series will premiere globally on Wednesday, 15th April with three episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through 20th May.
Margo’s 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-Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler (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. The series also stars Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Oscar and Emmy Award-winner Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty and Lindsey Normington.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles is produced for Apple TV by A24. Kelley serves as showrunner and writer, and executive produces alongside Fanning, Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures; Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films; and Matthew Tinker for David E. Kelley Productions. Pfeiffer, author Thorpe, Eva Anderson and Boo Killebrew also executive produce. BAFTA and Emmy Award-winner Dearbhla Walsh directs the pilot and serves as an executive producer. Additional directors include Kate Herron and Alice Seabright.
The series marks the most recent collaboration between Kelley and Apple TV, following the Emmy Award-nominated, global hit drama, Presumed Innocent, which is now in production on its second season.
