Earlier this month, the 11-time Emmy-winning writer took part in the streamer’s presser, where he said:[The book] made the casting process so easy because everyone fell in love with it.”
Referring to Offerman, he recalled, “I think when you and I first talked, Nick, you had read the book, and that was it. You joined in without knowing what we were going to do with it. Elle owned Margo, I think, before I even picked up a pen. And the actress right there in the middle, who I swore never to work with…”
“I’m very difficult,” Pfeiffer joked humorously.
“When I read the book, I only saw one person play it, and we’re lucky that she said yes, the second luckiest yes I got from her,” Kelley shared, referring to their long-term marriage.
It is relevant to mention that Margo has money problems ends on May 20, 2026.
