Elle Fanning Stars In OnlyFans Dramaedy Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Apple TV always manages to get starry casts for their shows, and their latest might have one of their most intriguing lineups: Oscar nominee Elle Fanning stars as single mother Margo, who, faced with rising bills, decides to set up an OnlyFans account. Nick Offerman and Michelle Pfeiffer play her parents, and Nicole Kidman plays her lawyer. Here’s everything you need to know:
What is Margo’s Got Money Troubles about?
Margo’s Got Money Troubles centres on Margo Millet (Fanning), who’s a college dropout and aspiring writer, and follows how her life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes a single mother following an affair with her professor Mark (Michael Angarano). Suddenly responsible for a baby and the growing pile of bills that comes with parenthood, Margo finds herself scrambling for ways to make ends meet. She’s also got a pretty unconventional family background: her mother is Cheyenne (Pfeiffer), a former Hooters waitress, and her father is Jinx (Offerman), a retired professional wrestler. She feels that neither of her parents’ chaotic lifestyles and choices has exactly prepared her for stable and normal adulthood.
Since her traditional career options prove limited and her need for cash grows each day, Margo decides to experiment by earning money online and decides to open an OnlyFans account. What begins as a desperate attempt to stay afloat and only interacting over messages becomes a bigger and bigger deal, and the show explores the complex and often controversial issue of OnlyFans and online porn. Just as dramatic is the arrival of her father Jinx, who she hasn’t seen in some time, but who agrees to help her with her child alongside roommate Suzie (Thaddea Graham).
But eventually, Margo’s life woes (which are not just financial) escalate, including the rift with Mark that started her on this journey, and she soon needs the help of a lawyer, who’s played by Nicole Kidman, the show’s other A-list star.
Is there a trailer?
The official trailer for the series gives a glimpse at our characters, with Elle Fanning and Nick Offerman particularly in the spotlight, and promises to pack an emotional punch: “I’ve come across a lot of people who need to apologise, you are not one of them…” Kidman’s lawyer tells Margo.
Alongside Fanning, Pfeiffer, Offerman and Kidman, the series also stars Thaddea Graham, Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Lindsey Normington and musician Rico Nasty in supporting roles.
When can I watch?
Margo’s Got Money Troubles airs globally on April 15th on Apple TV, with the first three episodes available at launch and new instalments arriving weekly.
