Margo’s Got Money Troubles Returns for a Second Season on Apple TV
Apple TV has officially renewed Margo’s Got Money Troubles for a second season, aiming to delve deeper into the challenges faced by the show’s titular character, portrayed by Elle Fanning. The series was created by David E. Kelley, Eva Anderson, and others, marking a continued partnership with the streaming platform.
Based on Rufi Thorpe’s best-selling novel, the series centers on Margo, who turns to OnlyFans to support herself and her newborn after dropping out of Fullerton College. With assistance from her roommate Susie, played by Thaddea Graham, and her father Jinx, a former professional wrestler portrayed by Nick Offerman, Margo crafts her online persona. She collaborates with artists such as Rico Nasty’s KC and Lindsey Normington’s Rose to create content for both TikTok and the sex work platform.
The narrative twists dramatically, notably when custody challenges arise from Margo’s child’s father, Mark Gable, played by Michael Angarano. Additionally, tension escalates when Jinx suffers a tragic relapse into drug addiction towards the end of Season 1.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles is produced for Apple TV by A24. Kelley and Anderson function as co-showrunners and executive producers alongside Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures. Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films, along with Matthew Tinker for David E. Kelley Productions, also contribute to the production. Additional executive producers include Pfeiffer, author Thorpe, Eva Anderson, and Boo Killebrew.
