Haley Lu Richardson Cast Opposite Emilia Clarke In Peacock’s ‘PONIES’
Peacock's upcoming espionage thriller, Ponies, has cast Haley Lu Richardson opposite Emilia Clarke in a series regular role.

Set in Moscow in 1977, the series follows two PONIES (“persons of no interest” in intelligence speak) who 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 (Clarke) is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants. Alongside her cohort, Twila, they work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.
Susanna Fogel (The Flight Attendant, The Spy Who Dumped Me) serves as executive producer, director, and co-writer alongside executive producer and co-writer David Iserson (Mr. Robot, New Girl) and executive producer Mike Daniels (Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, The Village).
