Thaddea Graham (Sex Education) has joined the cast of Apple TV+'s Margo’s Got Money Troubles as a series regular, starring alongside Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman. The eight-episode series, based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, is produced by David E Kelley and A24, with Fanning and Kidman also serving as executive producers.

The story centers on Margo Millet (played by Fanning), who is the daughter of a former Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and a retired pro wrestler (Offerman). After a brief affair with an English professor at her junior college, 20-year-old Margo finds herself pregnant, unemployed, and facing eviction. When her estranged father, Jinx, reappears and asks to move in, she reluctantly agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Desperate for financial stability, Margo starts an OnlyFans account, using some of Jinx’s wrestling tactics to build her online presence. However, she soon grapples with the potential costs of internet fame.

Graham is set to play Susie, Margo’s roommate. Kidman is reported to portray a mediator between Margo and the professor. David E Kelley is the writer and showrunner, with additional executive producers including Fanning, Dakota Fanning, and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures, as well as Kidman and Per Saari for Blossom Films. Pfeiffer, author Thorpe, and Eva Anderson are also involved as executive producers.

Graham, known for her role in the BBC series Wreck and the final season of Sex Education, is also a series regular in the second season of Apple TV+'s Bad Sisters, premiering on November 13. She recently wrapped up After the Hunt directed by Luca Guadagnino and is set to appear in the next Noah Baumbach film.
