My Little Pony: Pony Life is an animated television series that aired on Treehouse TV in Canada from June 21, 2020 to April 25, 2021 and aired on Discovery Family in the United States from November 7, 2020, to May 22, 2021. 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.

The series was produced by Entertainment One with animation provided by Boulder Media. Unlike Friendship Is Magic, each episode is 11 minutes long, consisting of two five-minute segments.

Premise

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.

Voice cast

Main cast

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.
