Peacock’s “PONIES” Speaking Role Casting Call for Young Woman

Casting Young Woman for Lead Role in Drama Series ‘PONIES’

A major open casting call is underway for an exciting new television series backed by Peacock and Universal Television. The production is searching for a Russian-speaking actress to take on a pivotal lead role in the upcoming 8-part spy thriller PONIES. This is a unique chance for emerging talent to step into a central character role in a high-stakes Cold War-era drama starring Emmy®-nominated actress Emilia Clarke.

Job Description
The production is looking for a young woman, aged 18 or older, to portray a 17-year-old character. The selected actress will star in a bold, emotionally charged espionage drama set in 1977 Moscow.

Emilia Clarke stars as Bea, a sharp and composed daughter of Soviet immigrants, whose life is upended after her husband’s death. Alongside her is Twila, a tough, small-town firebrand. Together, they unravel a deep web of conspiracies and secrets. The role being cast will closely align with these themes and emotional arcs.
