Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on January 11, 2026| Leave a Comment »

On January 15, the period piece drama Ponies will debut online on Peacock.

The series is set in 1977 in Moscow. 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. Bea (Emilia Clarke) is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants.

Her cohort, Twila (Haley Lu Richardson), 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.

Here is a trailer for Ponies:
