Marcia Gay Harden Joins Apple TV+ Series ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’

Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden is set for a guest-starring role in Margo’s Got Money Troubles, joining Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman in the Apple TV+ series based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel. The eight-part series, set in the world of OnlyFans with a wrestling twist, hails from David E. Kelley and A24, with Fanning and Kidman also executive producing.

Fanning stars as Margo Millet, the child of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler (Offerman), who becomes pregnant after a brief affair with an English professor at the local junior college she attends. Now, at 20, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. When her estranged father Jinx shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Margo starts an OnlyFans as an experiment and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?
