Elle Fanning’s Upcoming Apple TV Comedy Continues A Wildly Impressive Streaming Trend

by

I used to think of Apple TV as a bit of a newcomer in the streaming wars, but honestly, you can’t ignore how far they’ve come. Just look at the cast they’re attracting for their new comedy, Margo’s Got Money Troubles with Elle Fanning! They’re already putting out shows that genuinely rival Netflix – Severance and For All Mankind are fantastic – and it seems like Margo’s Got Money Troubles is going to be another bold, creative swing from them.

Based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a highly anticipated TV adaptation coming in 2026. Elle Fanning stars as Margo, a young woman whose life is complicated by an unplanned pregnancy. To support herself, she starts earning money on OnlyFans, but quickly discovers that success isn’t as simple as it seems.

Apple TV’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles Features An Amazing Cast

The trailer for Margo’s Got Money Troubles highlights a fantastic cast. Michelle Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman play Margo’s parents in the comedy series. Pfeiffer is a long-time Hollywood star, and Offerman, while famous for his role as Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation, recently proved his acting skills in The Last of Us.

Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman are producing a new show called Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and Kidman will also star in it. She’ll play the person who helps Margo navigate a complicated relationship with her baby’s father, who is also her professor. The show also features some well-known guest stars, including the experienced actress Marcia Gay Harden and former wrestling champion Chris Jericho, playing himself.

Apple TV Keeps Attracting A-List Actors For Upcoming Shows

Apple TV is rapidly becoming a major player in the streaming world, known for its high-quality, original programming that consistently receives positive reviews. While tackling a story about OnlyFans could be a gamble, the show benefits from a talented cast and significant investment from Apple TV, signaling their confidence in its potential.

Apple TV+ hasn’t made as many shows as some other streaming services, but it’s become known for focusing on quality rather than just the number of titles. Popular series like Ted Lasso, Foundation, and Slow Horses have been hits, and all three have been renewed for future seasons. Unlike Netflix, which sometimes cancels well-made shows, Apple TV+ appears more willing to give series a chance to succeed, which is good news for performers.

As a movie buff, I’ve been really impressed with the talent Apple TV+ is attracting. You’ve got huge names like Gary Oldman starring in the fantastic spy series Slow Horses, and it was so fun to see Harrison Ford’s comedic timing in Shrinking. Natalie Portman even made her TV leading debut with Lady in the Lake! And from what I hear, Margo’s Got Money Troubles might have some big stars too. It really feels like Apple TV+ is only just beginning to build an incredible lineup.
