Elle Fanning Faces Pre-Pregnancy Stress as Margo’s Parents Provide Unique Support in Money Troubles Teaser
Apple TV has released its first teaser for the upcoming series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, created by David E. Kelley and based on Rufi Thorpe’s bestselling novel. This anticipated series is set to premiere on April 15, with three episodes available at launch, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 20.
The teaser showcases Margo, played by Elle Fanning, as she grapples with the financial responsibilities that come with pregnancy. In one scene, she lies down in a department store, adorned in a colorful striped dress, cowboy boots, and a jean jacket, reflecting her emotional turmoil. Margo’s mother, Shyanne, portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer, reminds her that “There are no victims in Bloomingdale’s.”
In a moment of frustration, Margo heads to a rooftop parking lot to release her pent-up emotions with a scream. The teaser further highlights her unconventional solution to overcoming financial burdens: a creative OnlyFans account that helps support her and her child, set to the backdrop of Meek’s “Fabulous.”
