Margo is coming back for more family adventures.

That's because Margo's Got Money Troubles has officially been renewed by Apple TV+ for Season 2; the news comes a week before the highly anticipated Season 1 finale airs.

The critically acclaimed first season, which currently holds a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, follows Margo (Elle Fanning), a college student who drops out after unexpectedly getting impregnated by her writing professor. Faced by scrutiny from her mother, Shayanne (Michelle Pfeiffer), and endless financial struggles, Margo decides to make an OnlyFans account in order to provide for herself and her baby. Things get more complicated when Jinx (Nick Offerman), her estranged, ex-pro Wrestler father, shows up on her doorstep.

The first season was based on Rufi Thorpe's 2024 novel. Plot details for this sequel are being kept under wraps, and Season 2 will go beyond the original source material since Season 1 strictly follows the length of Thorpe's book. The series cast is rounded out by Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty and Lindsey Normington.

"‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ was an irresistible proposition to me from day one,” creator, executive producer and writer David E. Kelley said in a statement. “I fell in love with Rufi’s world and unpredictable characters, and it’s been rewarding to see audiences embrace this series. We can’t wait to continue this story with our partners at Apple and A24.”

The show was created by Emmy award-winner Kelley (Big Little Lies, Presumed Innocent), with Season 1 series directors including Dearbhla Walsh, Kate Herron and Alice Seabright. Executive producers include Fanning, Pfeiffer, Dakota Fanning, Brittany Kahan Ward, Per Saari, Eva Anderson and Boo Killebrew. The show is produced for Apple TV+ by A24.

The show releases weekly on Apple TV+. The Season 1 finale airs globally Wednesday, May 20.
