The official logline for “PONIES” via Peacock:

Moscow, 1977. Two “PONIES” (“persons of no interest” in intelligence speak) 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 (Emilia Clarke) is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants. Her cohort, Twila (Haley Lu Richardson), is a small-town girl who is as abrasive as she is fearless. Together, they work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.

Mike Daniels is also a showrunner on “PONIES” and is an executive producer alongside Clarke, Iserson, Fogel, Jessica Rhoades (“Black Mirror,” “Station Eleven,” “Dirty John”), with co-executive producers such as Katherine Bridle, Alison Mo Massey, Jared Ian Goldman, and Rosa Handelman.
