The series also stars Kidman, who will executive produce alongside Thorpe, Fanning and Pfeiffer. Meanwhile, David E Kelley will serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer on the eight-episode show.
"Margo Millet's got money troubles. As the child of a Hooters waitress and ex-pro wrestler, she's always known she'd have to make it on her own. So she enrols at her local junior college, even though she can't imagine how she’ll ever make a living," reads the book description.
Following the affair with her professor, Margo dismisses advice to terminate the pregnancy, instead deciding to keep the baby "mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger." Unemployed and alone, she allows her estranged father Jinx to move in with her in exchange for help with childcare.

Margo develops a plan start an OnlyFans account, using Jinx's wrestling advice to help her create a compelling character. "Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?" the description hints.
Pfeiffer is also set to star in the new Yellowstone spin-off The Madison. The series, described as "a heartfelt study of grief and human connection", will follow a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
The Madison, previously titled 2024, will be Yellowstone's third spin-off series, following 1883 and 1923. Alongside her leading role, Pfeiffer will serve as a producer on the show.
