"Margo’s Got Money Troubles," the gripping Apple TV+ series that had us all hooked, is gearing up for its second season. Filming starts this December, bringing a fresh dose of drama right from the heart of Los Angeles. Behind the scenes, the talented David E. Kelley returns as showrunner alongside Dearbhla Walsh, who’s set to direct the new episodes.
The show, known for its mix of legal sagas and family feuds, takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through the life of Margo Millet, played by Elle Fanning. As the storyline dives back into the tumultuous world of custody battles and personal struggles, the City of Angels' iconic backdrop promises to add its own flair to the unfolding drama.
“Filming in Los Angeles brings an authenticity and energy that can’t be replicated anywhere else,” shares Kelley. “There’s nothing quite like capturing these stories in the city where they’re set.”
In case you missed the Season 1 finale, it was a jaw-dropping spectacle titled "Lock and Load." The episode saw tensions boiling over as Margo and Mark Gable, portrayed by a yet-to-be-revealed actor, battled it out in court for custody of their child, Bodhi. Despite a rocky road, including a psychological evaluation and dramatic confrontations, Margo walks away with full custody, while Mark is granted biweekly visits – a twist that kept fans on their toes.
Even with the cards stacked against her, Margo’s victory came as a surprise, especially with the court’s initial bias due to her “questionable” profession and a family colorful enough for its own reality TV show. In a shocking reveal, it turns out that Margo's stepfather, Kenny – played by Greg Kinnear – was the one who tipped off Child Protective Services, not Mark.
As Season 2 looms on the horizon, the question on everyone’s mind is how Margo will navigate her new life. With a decision to go full frontal on OnlyFans to secure her financial future, Margo is ready to take bold steps to ensure a stable life for Bodhi. The finale left us with a mysterious user named JB tipping generously, hinting at intriguing developments in Margo’s life.
Returning cast members expected to reprise their roles include stars like Michelle Pfeiffer as Margo’s strong-willed mother, Shyanne, and Nick Offerman as her unpredictable father, Jinx. Nicole Kidman, Greg Kinnear, Thaddea Graham, and Marcia Gay Harden are also set to return, promising even more drama and depth to the storyline.
So, buckle up and prepare for another whirlwind season of "Margo’s Got Money Troubles" as filming kicks off this December in Los Angeles. This next chapter promises to be as thrilling and unpredictable as a SoCal summer.
