"This is Elle Fanning as you've never seen her before: raw, funny, and often topless (but not always in a sexual way) as a college freshman with a promising writing career who accidentally gets knocked up and has to turn to OnlyFans as a new mother to make rent."
"As a narrator of her own life, Fanning's Margo is a forever optimist. She's an only child raised by a single mom, Shayanne (an unfiltered Michelle Pfeiffer), with an often-absent pro-wrestler father, Jinx (Nick Offerman, now made of solid muscle and beard). And it's given her an overactive imagination that allows her to plunge headfirst into experiences without thinking of the consequences."
"The former shows a figurine of a young woman rolling through a pinball machine that throws her in different directions and down chutes, always seemingly on the precipice of falling into an abyss. Turns out to be pretty appropriate once you watch the episodes."
Margo's Got Money Troubles, premiering on Apple TV April 15, stars Elle Fanning as Margo, a college freshman and aspiring writer who becomes pregnant after an affair with her married professor. Raised by a single mother and absent pro-wrestler father, Margo's optimistic nature and overactive imagination lead her into impulsive decisions without considering consequences. When she decides to keep her baby despite her mother's opposition, she turns to OnlyFans as a financial solution. The series, created by David E. Kelley and based on Rufi Thorpe's novel, showcases Fanning in a raw, comedic performance that premiered at SXSW.
