EXCLUSIVE: Margo’s Got Money Troubles has rounded out its cast with Lindsey Normington (Anora), rapper, singer, songwriter Rico Nasty and Michael Workèyè (My Lady Jane) in recurring roles. The Apple TV+ series, starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman, hails from David E. Kelley and A24.
In Margo’s Got Money Troubles, based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, Fanning stars as Margo Millet, the child of a Hooters waitress, Shyanne (Pfeiffer), and an ex-pro wrestler, Jinx (Nick Offerman), who becomes pregnant after a brief affair with an English professor, Mark (Michael Angarano), at the local junior college she attends. Now, at 20, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. When her estranged father Jinx shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Margo starts an OnlyFans as an experiment and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling.
Normington will portray Rose; Nasty will play KC and Workèyè will play JB.
Cast also includes Thaddea Graham, Marcia Gay Harden and Greg Kinnear.
