Nicole Kidman is possibly the busiest actress in Hollywood, with the Aussie being revealed as one of the leads in Apple TV+'s new series Margo's Got Money Troubles alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and Elle Fanning. The eight-episode show is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Rufi Thorpe, who will serve as executive producer on the project.

The series will be produced by A24 and David E. Kelley, who is none other than Michelle's husband, will serve as showrunner! Incredibly, this will mark the first time that she and David have ever worked together on a project. David has previously worked with Nicole on projects like Big Little Lies.

It comes after Michelle told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022 that she wasn't super keen to work with David, but would consider it. She said, "I never want to risk damaging our relationship, which is a little sacred to me, and I think it’s a risk that you take if you work together."

The story, per the show's description, sees Elle as Margo, who is "the daughter of a Hooters waitress and former pro wrestler who, after having an affair with her junior college English professor, gets pregnant and turns to OnlyFans to make ends meet. After reuniting with her estranged father, who imparts advice he learned in the wrestling ring, Margo becomes a runaway success on OnlyFans."
