Peacock Orders Emilia Clarke Cold War Thriller 'Ponies'
Peacock has ordered the series PONIES. Emilia Clarke will star and executive produce. Set in 1977 Moscow, Clarke will play Bea, a secretary at the American Embassy. Bea and Twila become CIA operatives after their husbands are killed. Twila has not been cast yet. Bea speaks Russian as the daughter of immigrants, while Twila is from small-town America. PONIES stands for "Persons of no interest," which is how Bea and Twila begin as secretaries.
