Apple TV’s “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” opens SXSW with world premiere event for highly anticipated new series starring and executive produced by Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, and hailing from David E. Kelley

Last night, at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, Apple TV celebrated the upcoming launch of “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” with a star-studded opening-night premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival. The eight-episode Apple Original series will premiere globally on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 with three episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 20, 2026.

Red carpet attendees included series stars and executive producers Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer, cast member Thaddea Graham, showrunner, writer and executive producer David E. Kelley, writer and executive producer Eva Anderson, director and executive producer Dearbhla Walsh, director Kate Herron, executive producer Dakota Fanning, and book author and executive producer Rufi Thorpe. Also in attendance at the premiere were wrestling consultants Summer Rae and Chris Jericho, cast members Lindsey Normington, Kailena Mai and Annalise Basso, costume designer Mirren Gordon-Crozier and production designer Richard Bloom.

Hailing from A24 and multi-Emmy Award winner David E. Kelley, and based on Rufi Thorpe’s bestselling novel of the same name, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” stars and is executive produced by Academy Award, Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominee Elle Fanning; Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer; and Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Nicole Kidman.

“Margo’s Got Money Troubles” is a bold, heartwarming and comedic family drama following recent college dropout and aspiring writer, Margo (Fanning), the daughter of an ex-Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler (Nick Offerman), as she’s forced to make her way with a new baby, a mounting pile of bills and a dwindling amount of ways to pay them. The ensemble cast is also led by Emmy Award winner Offerman, Thaddea Graham, Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty and Lindsey Normington.

“Margo’s Got Money Troubles” is produced for Apple TV by A24. Kelley serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer alongside Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures; Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films; and Matthew Tinker for David E. Kelley Productions. Pfeiffer, author Thorpe, Eva Anderson and Boo Killebrew also executive produce. BAFTA Award and Emmy Award winner Dearbhla Walsh directs the pilot and serves as an executive producer. Additional directors include Kate Herron and Alice Seabright.

The series marks the most recent collaboration between Kelley and Apple TV, following the Emmy Award-nominated global hit drama “Presumed Innocent,” which is now in production on its second season.
