My Little Pony: Pony Life is a Canadian animated television series that aired on Discovery Family from November 7, 2020, to May 22, 2021. [2] It is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise and is the fourth animated series in the franchise overall. Pony Life acts as a standalone spin-off to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019), sporting a new caricatured artstyle, slice-of-life narrative, and some of the writers and voice cast returning. [3]
The series was produced by Entertainment One with animation provided by Boulder Media. [4] [ non-primary source needed ] Unlike Friendship Is Magic, each episode is 11 minutes long, consisting of two five-minute segments.
The main setting of Pony Life is Sugarcube Corner, a bakery operated by Pinkie Pie that she and her friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Fluttershy often use as a hangout. The series explores comedic, slice-of-life stories that they experience, primarily while hanging out at Sugarcube Corner. The series uses an art style based on Japanese chibi. As a reboot, it has no continuity with Friendship Is Magic, allowing for the existence of new characters (such as Octavio Pie, Pinkie Pie's brother) and the omission of certain other characters from the original series.[ citation needed ]
With the exception of Cathy Weseluck, who voiced Spike, the main voice actors from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic reprise their roles in Pony Life. [3]
My Little Pony: Pony Life premiered on Discovery Family in the United States on November 7, 2020. [5] Clips of several episodes have also been uploaded to the My Little Pony YouTube channel prior to the announcement. On September 17, 2020, it was reported that a second season was in production. [6] [ better source needed ] The second season premiered on April 10, 2021, [7] [8] and concluded on May 22 of the same year.
In Ireland, the series premiered on Tiny Pop on September 1, 2020. The second season premiered on Tiny Pop ahead of the U.S. broadcast on April 2, 2021. [9]
The show last aired regularly on Discovery Family in September 2023. Despite that, the network still owns the show's broadcasting rights.[ citation needed ]
