Apple TV is adapting another smash-hit novel to the screen with Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which explores the unconventional parenting arrangement of its cash-strapped title character.
Having become unexpectedly pregnant after an adulterous fling with her university lecturer, Margo (Elle Fanning) decides to keep the baby and drops out of education to focus on her imminent motherhood.
The problem is that the father wants little to do with her and his imminent baby, leaving Margo with serious concerns about how she’ll fund the costly experience of raising a child.
Ultimately, she finds a potential solution on the website OnlyFans, where she starts making adult content, utilising the expertise of her cosplayer friend Susie (Thaddea Graham) and pro wrestler father Jinx (Nick Offerman).
Michelle Pfeiffer also stars as Margo’s disapproving mother, Shyanne, while Nicole Kidman takes a recurring role as legal counsel Linda (aka ‘Lace’), who happens to be a former wrestler herself.
Read on for a full guide to the cast of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel of the same name, as the quirky comedy-drama launches on Apple TV.
