AceShowbiz - Margo's Got Money Troubles has been officially renewed for a second season on Apple TV ahead of the first season’s finale, which is set to premiere on Wednesday, May 20. The series is an adaptation of Rupi Thorpe’s novel and has quickly gained attention for its unique blend of humor and heart.
Elle Fanning, who stars as the lead character Margo and also serves as an executive producer, expressed her enthusiasm about the renewal. She shared that bringing Margo’s story to life has been a deeply rewarding experience. Fanning noted that the original novel felt both fresh and profoundly human, and praised series creator David E. Kelley for his writing, which, combined with the cast’s powerful performances, created something truly special. She promised fans a season full of Margo’s emotional ups and downs, creativity, and fearless spirit, describing the upcoming episodes as a “wild, messy, and beautiful ride.”
The show follows recent college dropout and aspiring writer Margo, the daughter of an ex-Hooters waitress played by Michelle Pfeiffer and an ex-professional wrestler portrayed by Nick Offerman. Margo is faced with the challenges of raising a baby while juggling mounting bills and limited financial options. In a bid to make ends meet, she creates an OnlyFans persona named "HungryGhost," an alien character symbolizing an insatiable hunger. This decision triggers a custody battle initiated by the baby’s absent father, Mark (played by Michael Angarano), who attempts to regain custody of the child he originally did not want.
Season 1 also features notable performances from Nicole Kidman, Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, Thaddea Graham, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington. As the finale approaches, the show is expected to cover the full scope of the novel’s storyline.
Details about the plot and release date for Season 2 have not yet been announced, but anticipation is building among fans eager to see how Margo’s journey continues. Are you excited to see what comes next for Margo? Share your thoughts on the renewal in the comments below!
