Apple TV+ has renewed Margo’s Got Money Troubles for a second season, ahead of the Season 1 finale on May 20, with Eva Anderson joining series creator David E. Kelley as co-showrunner for Season 2.

Apple TV+ has renewed Margo’s Got Money Troubles for a second season. Based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, the Elle Fanning-led series follows Margo as she navigates money troubles and new motherhood, leaning into an online persona (TikTok and OnlyFans) with help from roommate Susie and her father Jinx. The show is produced by A24 with David E. Kelley and Eva Anderson as co-showrunners and executive producers, joined by Michelle Pfeiffer, Greg Kinnear, Marcia Gay Harden, and Nicole Kidman among others.
Deadline reports that Nicole Kidman joins the TV adaptation as Lace, a lawyer-wrestler, with showrunner David E. Kelley and EP Eva Anderson praising her believability in both the ring and courtroom. Lace’s appearance, connected to Leather & Lace, unfolds in Episode 4 “Buddies” as she and Jinx reconnect at a wrestling Fan Expo, expanding the story beyond the novel. New episodes air weekly on Wednesdays.
Rufi Thorpe explains that her novel Margo’s Got Money Troubles is being adapted for Apple TV+ with David E. Kelley and A24, and she welcomed major creative divergence from the book, including dropping the central JB love story to suit TV. The series stars Elle Fanning as Margo, with Nicole Kidman as an ex-wrestler and Michelle Pfeiffer as Margo’s mother Shyanne; Greg Kinnear plays the professor and Nick Offerman plays Kenny, Jinx’s wrestling buddy. Thorpe notes that producers asked what she feared they’d do and that she appreciated creative freedom, while input from sex workers helped shape the portrayal of the book’s sex-work elements. The show reframes the pregnancy-and-OnlyFans premise for TV and emphasizes moral and religious themes rather than a romantic arc.

Elizabeth Olsen discusses her role as Candy Montgomery in the HBO Max limited series "Love & Death," which explores the true-crime story of the Texas housewife who killed her friend with an ax in 1980. Olsen talks about the character's relatable qualities, the decision to not reach out to the real-life Candy for the role, and how the experience impacted her interest in continuing to play in the Marvel world. The series is a character study that delves into Candy's psyche and the events leading up to the murder.
"Love & Death" is another version of the true-crime story of Candy Montgomery, who killed Betty Gore with an axe in 1980. The mini-series works primarily because of its talented cast, particularly Elizabeth Olsen's mesmerizing performance as Montgomery. The storytelling leaves something to be desired, but the courtroom scenes and Tom Pelphrey's excellent portrayal of Montgomery's attorney are highlights. The mini-series shifts the focus to Montgomery's affair with Allan Gore, played by Jesse Plemons, and Olsen's performance forces viewers to question how much they should like, forgive, or understand Montgomery.
