Get ready to travel back to the 1970s with Ponies, a Peacock original TV show which is arriving next year. Starring Game of Thrones-fame Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson, this thriller follows two brave women who lost their husbands in the USSR during the Cold War, and decide to become secret agents for the CIA. In a world where men have been dominating as international spies, these ladies are referred to as 'PONIES', which means 'persons of no interest', whom nobody would ever suspect.

When to watch Ponies in India?

The spy thriller show will be released in India on JioHotstar (accessible via OTTplay Premium) on January 16, just a day after its premiere on Peacock in the US on January 15, 2026. Ponies consists of eight episodes, and all will be released on the same day.

What to expect from Ponies?

Emilia Clarke's calm and focused personality contrasts with Haley Lu Richardson's loud, bold nature and fearlessness, creating a challenging dynamic duo. Viewers can expect a 1970s timeline, secret missions, KGB intrigue, and the fun of these women realising they are more capable than anyone thinks.

Ponies is also expected to highlight women's empowerment in a male-dominated world where it's believed that secrets can be handled only by men. The story follows after Bea (Emilia Clarke) and Twila's (Haley Lu Richardson) CIA agent husbands are killed during a suspicious plane crash in the USSR, and the two are recruited to go undercover to investigate a massive Cold War conspiracy.

Bea and Twila are expected to navigate high-stakes KGB schemes, hardships to unravel mysteries and explore their capabilities as women. While Bea is a highly educated Russian speaker, Twila is a small-town woman with loud and vibrant behaviour.
