Elle Fanning Joins the OnlyFans Cinematic Universe

Elle Fanning is switching gears in a bold move to play a lead role in Apple TV+'s much-anticipated series, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. Hot on the heels of Sydney Sweeney's similar portrayal in Euphoria Season 3, Fanning’s new project explores the intricate life of an OnlyFans creator. The 27-year-old actress is known for her diverse roles, and this latest venture promises to be a captivating addition to her portfolio.

The Story Behind the Series

Based on Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 novel, Margo’s Got Money Troubles is crafted by none other than David E. Kelley. The show's plot revolves around Margo Millet, a woman navigating the complexities of life born to a Hooters waitress and an ex-wrestler. Her life takes a dramatic turn after an affair with a college professor leaves her pregnant, pushing her to OnlyFans for financial support. The series promises a blend of emotional depth and humor, brought to life by a talented cast.

“When you read the book, you just fall in love so much with these characters – they’re so vividly drawn,” Fanning shared, expressing her enthusiasm for the project.

An All-Star Lineup

Elle Fanning isn’t the only big name attached to the project. Michelle Pfeiffer will portray Margo's mother, with Nick Offerman stepping in as her father, and Nicole Kidman playing a former pro-wrestler. The series has already generated buzz with sneak peeks in Elle Magazine, setting the stage for its premiere.

Mark Your Calendars

Margo’s Got Money Troubles is set to drop its first three episodes of the eight-part series on Apple TV+ come April 15, 2026. Fans of Fanning and the original novel are eagerly waiting to see how this story unfolds on screen, promising a mix of realism and absurdity. As creator David E. Kelley puts it, "It’s an affirmative story… that’s just a juicy cocktail."

The series is poised to stir conversations, akin to Sweeney’s portrayal, and redefining the narrative around OnlyFans in the entertainment industry.
