David E. Kelley’s Apple Series ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ Adds Thaddea Graham To Cast

EXCLUSIVE: Thaddea Graham (Sex Education) has been cast as a series regular in Margo’s Got Money Troubles, joining Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman in the Apple TV+ series based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel. The eight-part series, set in the world of OnlyFans with a wrestling twist, hails from David E. Kelley and A24, with Fanning and Kidman also executive producing.

Fanning stars as Margo Millet, the child of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler (Offerman), who becomes pregnant after a brief affair with an English professor at the local junior college she attends. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. When her estranged father, Jinx (Offerman), 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. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?

Graham will play Susie, Margo’s roommate. Kidman is believed to be playing Margo and her professor’s mediator.

Kelley serves as writer and showrunner. He and Matthew Tinker executive produce for David E. Kelley Productions alongside Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures; and Kidman and Per Saari of Blossom Films. Pfeiffer, author Thorpe and Eva Anderson also executive produce.

Graham starred on the BBC series Wreck and has a major role in the final season of Netflix’s Sex Education. She is a new series regular on the upcoming second season of another Apple TV+ series, Bad Sisters, which debuts Nov. 13.

Graham, who has recently completed After the Hunt for Luca Guadagnino and was announced as part of the lead ensemble cast of the next Noah Baumbach feature, is repped by Independent Talent Group.
