Margo’s Got Money Troubles Renewed for Second Season
Apple TV today announced a season two renewal for Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the critically acclaimed comedy starring and 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, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award winner Nicole Kidman.
Hailing from multi-Emmy Award winner David E. Kelley and led by a star-studded ensemble cast that also includes Emmy Award winner Nick Offerman and Thaddea Graham, the season finale of Margo’s Got Money Troubles will debut globally on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, on Apple TV.
Since its global debut, the “must-watch” series has been hailed as “one of the best shows of the year” and quickly earned a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have praised the “warm, funny and emotionally precise” comedy as “brilliantly written,” highlighting the “immaculate performances” from its “powerhouse cast.”
“Embarking on the adventure of bringing Margo to the screen has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” said executive producer and star, Elle Fanning. “When I first read Rufi’s stunning story, it felt wholly original and most importantly human, and then with David’s writing, along with our epic cast of heart-wrenching performances, it truly felt like we had something special.”
Fanning added, “Having the opportunity to bring more of Margo’s troubles, creativity, fearless spirit and authenticity to audiences with a second season makes me incredibly happy and excited. I can promise everyone they’re in for a wild, messy and beautiful ride.”
“‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ was an irresistible proposition to me from day one,” said creator, executive producer, and writer David E. Kelley. “I fell in love with Rufi’s world and unpredictable characters, and it’s been rewarding to see audiences embrace this series. We can’t wait to continue this story with our partners at Apple and A24.”
“Ever since David’s sharp adaptation of Rufi’s novel debuted, audiences have wanted to spend more time with these riveting characters and the brilliant cast behind them, led by Elle, Michelle, Nick and Thaddea,” said Matt Cherniss, Apple TV’s head of programming. “We’re excited to watch Margo and the entire family continue to defy the odds in season two, in the way only they can, with humor, determination and creativity.”
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 (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 series also stars 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, and Eva Anderson will serve as co-showrunner on season two. The series is executive produced by 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, Anderson, and Boo Killebrew also executive produce. BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Dearbhla Walsh directs the pilot and serves as an executive producer. Additional directors for season one include Kate Herron and Alice Seabright.
The seventh, penultimate episode of Margo’s Got Money Troubles premieres today on Apple TV. In this week’s new episode, “Lariat Takedown,” Margo goes head-to-head with Mark. Jinx and Susie have a rough day.
