The TV hits keep coming this month, with Margo’s Got Money Troubles arriving mid-April, proving once again that if you don’t have an Apple TV subscription, you should get on that. The series—from Emmy-winning producer David E. Kelley—is based on Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel of the same name and stars Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer (who is almost guaranteed to be a two-time Emmy nominee this year for her role in Margo, plus Paramount+’s The Madison), and Nick Offerman in the lead roles.
Recent Oscar nominee Fanning plays Margo, an aspiring writer who drops out of college when she becomes pregnant. Without much support or a regular income, she’s got to get crafty in ways she never imagined. Pfeiffer plays her mother, Shyanne, a former Hooter’s waitress, and Offerman plays her dad, an ex-pro wrestler recently out of rehab. Together, this might just be the most dysfunctional family since, well…every family on TV is a bit dysfunctional. Still, you’ve never seen Fanning, Pfeiffer, or Offerman like this, as they each bring heart and eccentricity to this bold, absurd, and sweet comedic family drama.
Three episodes of Margo’s Got Money Troubles will premiere on Wednesday, April 15, and then stream weekly through May 20.
Meanwhile, the second stellar season of Apple TV’s Your Friends & Neighbors arrives a few weeks earlier (Friday, April 3, to be exact). The show picks up after that stunning season-one finale in which a recently exonerated Andrew “Coop” Cooper (Jon Hamm) decides to turn down a job offer with his old firm and instead commit to a life of stealing his neighbors’ things.
“In season two, that choice has extreme ramifications,” creator, executive producer, and writer Jonathan Tropper tells Glamour. The other problem is that now Coop has backed himself into a corner where he’s going to get in trouble with a lot of the wrong people, which will only snowball. While Tropper says Coop should have probably taken back his old job, all he’s concerned about is that he’s free (both literally and figuratively) “from the script that he’d been following his whole life.”
In season two, James Marsden joins the show as Owen Ashe, a new addition to the neighborhood. “[Ashe] comes in like a real disruptor,” Tropper says. “He’s a total wrecking ball. And a lot of fun.”
