Clarke stars as Beatrice “Bea” Grant, and Haley Lu Richardson (known from The White Lotus) plays Twila Hasbeck. The story follows Bea and Twila, who start as embassy secretaries in Moscow during the 1970s and later become CIA agents after tragedy strikes – the death of their husbands.

Ponies Is Emilia Clarke’s New Spy Thriller On Peacock – What It’s About

The series Ponies, an acronym for ‘Persons of No Interest’, is set during the Cold War. Twila and Bea are on a mission to discover who murdered their husbands, and their investigation leads them to a possible conspiracy with far-reaching global implications.

The new series Ponies has been very well-received, earning a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In a review for Ebaster, Dani Kessel Odom gave it 9 out of 10 stars, praising its unique approach to the spy genre. Odom highlighted that the show cleverly features everyday, underestimated women as spies, calling it one of the most enjoyable stories she’s seen recently.

Though the show takes place in a naturally stressful time and unfolds like a suspenseful murder mystery, what really makes ‘Ponies’ stand out is the incredible connection between the two main actors, Clarke and Richardson. They’re essential to the show’s appeal and likely its success – without their chemistry, it just wouldn’t be the same.
