Speaking at the panel, Kelley said he was immediately drawn to Thorpe’s novel, citing its originality and depth of character. He added that the casting process unfolded naturally, as many actors had already read and connected with the book. Despite previously saying he would never work with his spouse, Kelley acknowledged that Pfeiffer was the only actor he envisioned for the role.

Pfeiffer, in turn, praised the strength of the writing and said her decision to join the project was driven by the quality of the material, even though her character appears briefly in the original novel. The series marks one of the few professional collaborations between the couple, who married in 1993.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles will premiere globally on April 15, launching with three episodes, followed by weekly releases through May 20 on Apple TV+.
