EXCLUSIVE: Peacock‘s espionage thriller series PONIES has added five new cast members to its series regular cast: Adrian Lester (Sandman, Day After Tomorrow), Artjom Gilz (Tar, Das Boot), Nicholas Podany (Saturday Night, Hello Tomorrow), Petro Ninovskyi (Shttl, Silence) and Vic Michaelis (Very Important People, Upload).
They join previously announced Emilia Clarke, who also executive produces, and Haley Lu Richardson. 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.
