Margo's Got Money Troubles season 2 has been confirmed by Apple TV — here's why you shouldn't miss this binge worthy comedy series

A still from the upcoming Apple TV show Margos Got Money Troubles, showing Elle Fanning as Margo and Michelle Pfeiffer as her mother on a settee together.
  • Margo's Got Money Troubles has been confirmed for season 2
  • The news was announced ahead of the show's finale, which airs next week
  • A release date or plot has not yet been confirmed

News that Margo's Got Money Troubles has been renewed for season 2 made my week. In my review, I described it as "addictive and surprisingly heartfelt," and I can't wait for more episodes to arrive.

Apple TV confirmed the renewal via social media, where they wrote: "Thanks for being a fan. Margo’s Got Money Troubles has been renewed for Season 2" alongside a clip from the show where Margo receives her first OnlyFans follower.

Throughout the course of season 1, we followed Margo as a single mom, turning to OnlyFans to support herself and her son as she struggled to make ends meet. Season 2 will expand on this catalyst, but we don't have a confirmed release date or plot yet.

Still, Margo fans everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief knowing she'll be back for more, especially since it's the season 1 finale next week. How time flies. I'm not ready to say goodbye to this show, and I've been recommending it to everyone I know.

Why you should watch Margo's Got Money Troubles

If you haven't seen the series yet, news that it's been backed enough for season 2 might just convince you. However, if that doesn't work, I'm here to explain why I think you should give it a go.

Apple TV shows have been exceptionally good recently. We've had the likes of Severance, Pluribus, and Widow's Bay all making headlines for very good reasons, and Margo's Got Money Troubles has just followed in their footsteps. The quality of the show is great, from the casting to the set design and the lovable characters we tune in to watch each week.

Not only are they lovable, they're also deeply flawed. What's billed as a comedy certainly has some dark moments, with the two moods perfectly balanced throughout the series. Margo's decision to keep her baby after an affair with her professor is an emotional one, and we're rooting for her despite the numerous obstacles she faces. It's one of Elle Fanning's best performances yet.

Margo's parents, Shyanne and Jinx, played brilliantly by Michelle Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman, are a perfect supporting cast. Shyanne had Margo when she was young and worries for her daughter's future, and Jinx is back in her life after being an absent father for many years. This complex family dynamic is at the heart of the show and keeps things interesting, as they often clash and disagree.

This show had me hooked from episode one, and I really do think it deserves all the praise it's been receiving. I can't wait for more.
