Recently, Netflix shared an intriguing trailer that gives a glimpse into the new life of Thelma, who changed after a mishap of paint that turned her into a mysterious pink-hued unicorn.

Thelma aspires to sing at the Sparkle Palooza event to become a part of the world’s next big musical legend. The trailer shows how Thelma the pony gets a new identity after people begin mistaking her for a real unicorn. She then grabs everyone's attention with her mesmerising vocals and musical talent.

“Sign with me, and I can turn you into a big superstar just like Nikki,” says the organiser as he asks Thelma to sign a talent deal with him. However, the twist here is the fierce competitor, Nikki, who would do anything to reveal the true identity of Thelma.
