Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke is set to star in and executive produce Ponies, a spy thriller series set up at the streaming platform, Peacock. The show is reportedly set in Moscow in 1977 during the Cold War. Susanna Fogel (The Flight Attendant) and David Iserson (Mr Robot) are on board as co-creators for
the show backed by United Television.

The narrative follows two PONIES - persons of no interest - who work anonymously as secretaries at the American embassy until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR and they become CIA operatives, according to the synopsis of the series.

Clarke will play the role of Bea, an overeducated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants. The actor is currently shooting for Prime Video's new web series, Criminal.
