Viewers may be wondering how many episodes make up PONIESPeacock's newest spy thriller series.

How to Watch

Watch the series premiere of PONIES on Thursday, January 15 on Peacock.

The show stars Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Haley Lu Richardson (The White Lotus) as two "people of no interest" who are thrust into the world of CIA espionage in Moscow in the 1970s.

How many episodes does Peacock's PONIES have?

The series will consist of eight episodes, each approximately one hour long. 

It's the same amount of installments in the Sarah Snook-led All Her Fault, the Peacock title that took viewers on a drama-filled rollercoaster ride for eight hours.

The best part? Viewers who love getting hooked on a new series and binge-watching as many episodes as possible are in for a treat.

What is the PONIES episode release schedule?

Good news: Unlike other Peacock Originals — like The Traitors Season 4, premiering January 8 — viewers won't have to wait for new episodes of PONIES to drop each week. All eight episodes of PONIES will be available immediately when the series premieres on January 15.

Thankfully, there's no waiting for new episodes to drop, and no time to overthink any storylines (unless you want to, of course).

Clarke, who plays Bea on PONIES, laid out the show's basic premise for fans in a featurette released in November 2025.

The lead PONIES characters "uncover a can of worms"

"We play two wives of CIA operatives that are stationed in Moscow, but what then ends up happening is we uncover a can of worms that results in us being very good spies," she explained. "When you first meet Bea, she went to Wellesley [College], she studied Russian, she married her childhood sweetheart. She's on the path to be perfect wife, perfect mother, perfect woman."

"I mean, I can't relate at all," Clarke quipped. "It's outrageous that they cast me as this."

Richardson, who plays Twila, also broke down her character in the featurette.

"Twila is loud, and a lot, and uninhibited," she revealed. "She is naturally like a very big, bold, fearless human being."

Mark your calendars, thriller fans: PONIES comes to Peacock on Thursday, January 15, with all eight episodes immediately available to watch.
