Apple TV Premieres Margo's Got Money Troubles

Apple TV launched its new comedy-drama series Margo's Got Money Troubles on April 15, 2026, with the first three episodes available for streaming, marking the streaming service's latest adaptation of a bestselling novel. Starring Elle Fanning in the lead role, the eight-episode series follows a young woman's unconventional path to financial independence amid the challenges of unexpected motherhood.

The story centers on Margo Millet, a college dropout and aspiring writer played by Fanning, who becomes pregnant after an affair with her English professor, portrayed by Michael Angarano. Facing eviction, mounting bills, and limited job prospects, Margo decides to keep the baby and turns to creating content on OnlyFans for income. She draws on guidance from her estranged father, Jinx, a former professional wrestler played by Nick Offerman, who moves in to help with childcare and offers advice rooted in his showmanship experience. Margo's mother, Shyanne, a former Hooters waitress depicted by Michelle Pfeiffer, provides reluctant support while grappling with her own past as a young mother, complicated by her relationship with a devout Christian boyfriend, Kenny, played by Greg Kinnear.
