DESPERATE TIMES Elle Fanning stars as a young mother struggling to support her baby, turning to OnlyFans to make money, in Margo’s Got Money Troubles, streaming on Apple TV+. Credit: PHOTO COURTESY OF APPLE TV+

Margo’s a college freshman who wants to be a writer. Cue crush on her professor, a totally not cool affair, and an unplanned pregnancy. Her professor, Mark Gable (Michael Angarano), wants nothing to do with her or the baby, and her mom, Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer), isn’t exactly the best role model or mentor. Margo doesn’t really know her dad, the legendary wrestler Jinx (Nick Offerman), but when he shows up and offers to help, she can’t help but say yes. 

MARGO’S GOT MONEY TROUBLES
What’s it rated? TV-MA
When? 2026
Where’s it showing? Apple TV+

Her college roommates get over having a baby in the house quickly except for Susie (Thaddea Graham), her quirky, cosplaying friend who’s obsessed with Jinx, not knowing that Margo is his offspring. Money’s tight and Margo’s desperate, young, and hot, so OnlyFans here she comes. She goes by Hungry Ghost—and she’s there to make content that’s going to get the most money—which sometimes means pulling out her writing skills to cleverly insult guy’s dicks, apparently a niche kink that rakes in some bucks. 

Jinx proves to be a great grandpa and caretaker, while Shyanne struggles to connect with the baby. Funny, touching, and real—this series had enough gusto to get renewed for a season two, so tune in. (Eight 35- to 44-min. episodes). ∆
