For Terry Gross and Tanya Mosley, I'm David Biancullo.

You don't have to do that.

Margot's Got Money Troubles is created for television by David E. Kelly, who wrote or co-wrote several of the eight episodes.

Kelly's impressive TV career goes all the way back to L.A.

Law, Ally McBeal, Picket Fences, and Boston Legal.

But more recently, he's made a specialty of adapting other writers' novels for TV.

Those include Margot's Got Money Troubles by Rufy Thorpe, but also Kelly's adaptations of the novels Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, both of which starred Nicole Kidman.
