Apple TV subscribers can stream the first three episodes of the new comedic drama Margo’s Got Money Troubles today. The series stars Elle Fanning as a recent college dropout navigating motherhood and debt, alongside veteran performers Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman. Created by David E. Kelley and adapted from Rufi Thorpe’s novel, the show entered preview with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score. Early viewers praised.

The half‑hour episodes follow Margo’s chaotic household: her mother, a former Hooters waitress played by Pfeiffer, and her father, an ex‑pro wrestler portrayed by Nick Offerman, join her newborn and mounting bills. Guest appearances include Greg Kinnear, while the series rolls out new installments every Wednesday through May 20, giving viewers a steady weekly narrative. The tone balances wit and pathos.

Apple’s streaming tier costs $12.99 per month and already houses hits such as Severance, The Morning Show, and Silo. Adding a well‑received original like Margo’s Got Money Troubles strengthens the platform’s original‑content library, giving subscribers another reason to keep the service active amid fierce competition. It also broadens Apple’s appeal to younger demographics today.
