PONIES (Season 1)

PONIES (2026) is a Cold War spy drama you can watch online on iFILM. The year is 1977, the city is Moscow, and two American women are filing papers at the U.S. Embassy — invisible, low-clearance, nobody's concern. In intelligence parlance, they're "ponies": persons of no interest. That changes the moment their husbands are killed.

Bea is the daughter of Soviet immigrants, fluent in Russian and trained to think twice before every step. Twylla grew up in a small town and runs on instinct and nerve. Recruited by the CIA and left largely on their own, they start pulling at threads of a conspiracy that stretches deep into Cold War politics. Emilia Clarke and Hailee Steinfeld — wait, here it's Haley Lu Richardson — bring two very different survival modes to a show that's really about what happens when the system forgets you exist. Directed across episodes by Susanna Fogel, Viet Nguyen, and Ellie Pankiv.

The period detail is sharp and the stakes are personal: these aren't career spies angling for promotions, they're widows who want answers. Stream PONIES online on iFILM.
