Overview
- Michelle Pfeiffer, who spoke at The Hollywood Reporter x Apple TV panel on Sunday, Aug. 2, said she "never wants to star in another movie" and wants to work only in ensemble television.
- She currently stars in and executive-produces two streaming series, The Madison and Margo’s Got Money Troubles, both of which have been renewed and have driven fresh industry attention.
- Margo’s Got Money Troubles earned Pfeiffer an Emmy nomination for supporting actress and marked her first on-set collaboration with her husband, producer David E. Kelley, after a years-long pact to avoid working together.
- Pfeiffer said she was "bowled over" by the quality of female performances on television and praised TV characters as more complicated and flawed than many film roles she has had.
- Her shift underscores a wider trend of established film actors moving to prestige streaming shows because they offer longer arcs, deeper ensemble work and new producing roles that extend creative control.
