Kelley Casts Wife Pfeiffer in New Apple TV+ Show

David E. Kelley, known for his prolific writing, has cast his wife of over three decades, Michelle Pfeiffer, in his latest project, an Apple TV+ adaptation of "Margo's Got Money Troubles." Kelley, who had previously joked about never working with Pfeiffer, found her to be the ideal choice after reading the source material. The project was highly anticipated, with Apple securing the rights in a competitive bidding war.

Pfeiffer shared her positive experience, highlighting the collaborative and close-knit atmosphere among the cast. She noted that strong rapport was evident from the first table read, despite initial nerves. The comedy-drama is set to premiere on the streamer on April 15.

The series centers on Margo, played by Elle Fanning, a recent college dropout and aspiring writer. She is the daughter of an ex-Hooters waitress, portrayed by Pfeiffer, and an ex-pro wrestler, played by Nick Offerman. Margo finds herself navigating the challenges of new motherhood and significant debt.
