By Peacock has premiered the trailer for its upcoming Cold War set series “Ponies” starring Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) and Haley Lu Richardson (“The White Lotus”) and set in Moscow in 1977.
In the series 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.
Adrian Lester, Artjom Gilz, Nicholas Podany and Vic Michaelis co-star in the series on which David Iserson (“Mr. Robot,” “New Girl”) serves a showrunner and created the series alongside Susanna Fogel.
“Ponies” is set to premiere on the Peacock service on January 15th.
The post Series Trailer: Emilia Clarke In “Ponies” appeared first on Dark Horizons.
