My Little Pony: Pony Life

My Little Pony: Pony Life is an animated children's television series that aired on Discovery Family from 7 November 2020 to 22 May 2021. It is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. The series, acting as a successor, spin-off and reboot to 2010's My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the fourth animated series based on the franchise overall, was produced by Entertainment One, in collaboration with Boulder Media.
It has some of the writers and most of the voice cast returning from Friendship Is Magic, but it also features a different art style and a slice-of-life narrative. Unlike Friendship Is Magic, each episode is 11 minutes long, consisting of two five-minute segments. A second season for the series premiered on 10 April 2021. The series finale aired on 22 May 2021.
Premise
The main setting of Pony Life is Sugarcube Corner, a bakery operated by Pinkie Pie that she and her friends from Friendship Is Magic, 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. This allows for the existence of new characters such as Pinkie Pie's brother Octavio Pie, as well as the adapting out of certain other characters from the original series.
