Nicole Kidman’s Upcoming Apple TV Drama Continues One Unexpected Hollywood Trend

by

Nicole Kidman is set to star in a new project that continues a surprising trend in her career. The award-winning actress, with decades of success in both television and film, remains a major star. She’s incredibly busy, with four or five projects scheduled for release in 2026 alone.

Nicole Kidman has several upcoming projects. She’ll star in Scarpetta on Netflix starting March 11th, and Practical Magic 2 will be in theaters September 18th. While The Young People, her new horror film, is planned for 2026, a specific release date hasn’t been announced. Plus, a third season of Big Little Lies is happening, though it’s uncertain if it will be released this year.

I’m particularly excited about her new project, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. It’s a TV show that’s part of a trend I didn’t anticipate, but I think it’s fantastic.

Elle Fanning & Nicole Kidman Will Star Together In Margo’s Got Money Troubles

Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman are teaming up for a new Apple TV+ series called Margo’s Got Money Troubles, based on the novel by Rufi Thorpe. The first three episodes will premiere on April 15, 2026. Both Fanning and Kidman are also executive producers on the show.

I’m really intrigued by this new project! Elle Fanning is going to play Margo, a really complex character – her mom was a Hooter’s waitress and her dad was a former wrestler. Margo starts college wanting to be a writer, but life happens – she has a baby and needs to make money, so she ends up on OnlyFans. It gets even more interesting because Nicole Kidman is playing Lace, who is basically stuck in the middle of things as a go-between for Margo and her ex, who used to be her English teacher. Talk about a messy situation! It sounds like a really compelling story.

The cast also includes Nick Offerman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Angarano, who will play Margo’s father, mother, and ex-boyfriend.

Elle Fanning & Nicole Kidman Have Become The Most Unexpected Acting Pair

Elle Fanning is often cast as a kind, innocent, and thoughtful young woman, especially in shows and films focused on specific genres. While Nicole Kidman has played a wide range of characters, she’s recently become known for portraying wealthy, but emotionally burdened, older women in high-quality TV series and movies. Despite seemingly different career paths, the two actresses have formed a notable and frequent working partnership.

Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman have worked together before, including in the 2017 films The Beguiled, a suspenseful war thriller, and How To Talk To Girls at Parties, a quirky sci-fi musical rom-com. Fanning has often praised Kidman, sharing how much she’s learned from her in interviews. The two also shared a heartwarming moment at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Following their work on Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman are teaming up again. Paramount+ has ordered eight episodes of the legal thriller Discretion directly to series after a competitive bidding process involving multiple studios, as reported by Variety. Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, Chandler Baker, and Susannah Grant are all executive producers on the show. Baker is writing the scripts, and both Kidman and Fanning will star in the series.

Details about the upcoming film are limited, but it will be based on a new short story drawn from the author’s experiences as a corporate lawyer handling many non-disclosure agreements. The author shared on Instagram that this is a passion project with a fantastic cast and crew. Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning are among the actors expected to begin filming Discretion in 2026.
