She’s also mother to Mickey’s pre-teen daughter, Hayley, whom Maggie and Mickey are dedicated to co-parenting successfully, even though they have frequent professional and personal clashes.
Campbell is now on board to portray Mickey’s first ex-wife, Maggie McPherson.
The story was previously made into a (very good) 2011 film of the same name with Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, and William H. Macy.
Maggie is a Deputy District Attorney who’s known for her belief in her mission as prosecutor and fierce commitment to her job so much that her colleagues have nicknamed her “Maggie McFierce.”
