David E. Kelley, a prolific writer and producer who has won 11 Emmy Awards, has surprised the entertainment industry by announcing his latest project: an adaptation for Apple TV titled Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

In an unexpected twist, Kelley has decided to work with his wife of over three decades, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, a three-time Oscar nominee, despite having previously joked about the possibility of never collaborating with her.
