Ponies Creators Discuss Finale Craft, Late Pivot in IndieWire Interview

The conversation highlights the show’s period style serving character psychology.

Overview

  • Peacock released all eight episodes on January 15, drawing strong early critical response.
  • Co-creators Susanna Fogel and David Iserson say a key finale idea was locked late in production.
  • Fogel details deliberate visual choices such as tracked oners, limited angles, and restrained 1970s zoom or split-screen touches to preserve specificity.
  • Set in 1977 Moscow, the female-led spy dramedy stars Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson as recent widows who become operatives.
  • Peacock has not announced a second season, with any renewal expected to depend on performance metrics.
