Emilia Clarke is set to lead the upcoming spy thriller series Ponies, which is headed to Peacock.
“Moscow, 1977. Two “PONIES” (“persons of no interest” in intelligence speak) work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR, and the pair become CIA operatives,” the series description reads. “Bea (Clarke) is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants. Her cohort, Twila, is a small-town girl who is as abrasive as she is fearless. Together, they work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.”
Ponies is co-created by Susanna Fogel and David Iserson, with Fogel serving as the show’s executive producer, director, and co-writer. Iserson, on the other hand, serves as the co-writer, executive producer, and showrunner.
