It is being reported that Ponies has been cancelled by Peacock after one season. Coming five months after the release of its freshman run, the news doesn't come as a shock. While the spy thriller was well received by critics and viewers, it ultimately failed to draw a sizeable audience. Unfortunately for those who did watch, the show ended on a cliffhanger, leaving several plot points unresolved.

Set in 1977 Moscow, the series follows Bea and Twila, two "PONIES" ("persons of no interest" in intelligence speak) who work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. When their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR, and the pair become CIA operatives and work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows.
