UPDATE: The creators of Peacock’s hit spy thriller series Ponies have just announced plans for a second season following the shocking cliffhangers of the first season finale. Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson are set to return, as creators Susanna Fogel and David Iserson confirm they are actively “putting everything together” for the next installment.
The first season concluded with intense drama, leaving undercover CIA operatives Bea Grant and Twila Hasbeck at gunpoint in Moscow’s American embassy, held by the KGB after Andrei Vasiliev’s escape. Viewers are eager to know what will happen next, especially with the stakes soaring higher than ever.
In an exclusive interview with Collider, Fogel and Iserson revealed that while they are excited about the second season, it has yet to receive official greenlight from Peacock. The duo emphasized their vision for an ongoing series, stating, “We always pitched this as an ongoing television show.” This commitment to a multi-season arc has fans buzzing with anticipation.
The creators hinted at expanding the storyline beyond Moscow, promising an international scope that could elevate the tension and intrigue even further. “We could reset in future seasons,” Fogel remarked, teasing a wider narrative landscape.
Expect more emotional complexity in the next season as well, with Iserson stating, “We want to keep tangling it and making it more complicated.” The dynamic between Bea and Twila is set to deepen, especially with revelations about their husbands, including the shocking news that Bea’s husband, Chris Grant, is still alive, while Twila’s husband, Tom Hasbeck, is confirmed dead.
As the series garners critical acclaim with a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it currently ranks second on Peacock’s streaming charts, just behind the U.S. version of The Traitors. This positive reception bodes well for a renewal decision.
Fans are also eager for more romance, with Iserson teasing “more kissing” in the upcoming season, even amid the life-threatening chaos they face. The emotional stakes are high as Bea and Twila navigate their complex loyalties and uncover the truth behind their husbands’ fates.
With Ponies set to potentially return on January 15, 2026, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting further updates on this thrilling series. The show’s creators are determined to keep the momentum going, ensuring that audiences remain captivated by the twists and turns that lie ahead.
Stay tuned for more updates as we follow the developing story of Ponies and its journey towards a highly anticipated second season.
