What's Happening?
David E. Kelley, a prolific writer-producer, has teamed up with his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer, for the Apple TV adaptation of 'Margo’s Got Money Troubles.' Despite jokingly vowing never to work with Pfeiffer, Kelley cast her in the role of a former Hooters waitress in the comedy-drama. The series, set to premiere on April 15, follows the story of Margo, a college dropout and aspiring writer, as she navigates new motherhood and financial challenges. The project features a star-studded cast, including Elle Fanning, Nick Offerman, and Nicole Kidman, and was acquired by Apple in a competitive bidding war.
