At 20, unemployed and facing eviction, she agrees to let her father move in, relying on him for childcare support. In an effort to make ends meet, she launches an OnlyFans account, drawing on her father’s unconventional advice from his wrestling background.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles is executive produced by Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning, alongside David E. Kelley, with A24 serving as the studio.
