Emilia Clarke to Lead New Cold War Spy Series 'Ponies

The 1970s-set thriller follows two embassy secretaries turned CIA operatives after their husbands' mysterious deaths.

Emilia Clarke will star as Bea, a Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants working at the American Embassy in Moscow.
The series is co-created and executive produced by Susanna Fogel and David Iserson, with Iserson also serving as showrunner.
'Ponies' centers on Bea and her colleague Twila, who become CIA operatives to uncover a Cold War conspiracy.
The show marks Clarke's return to television following her roles in 'Game of Thrones' and 'Secret Invasion'.
Peacock has given 'Ponies' a straight-to-series order, though a release date has not yet been announced.
