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.[4] 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.[5] The series finale aired on 22 May 2021.[citation needed]
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.[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.[4]
My Little Pony: Pony Life premiered on Discovery Family in the United States on 7 November 2020.[6] Clips of several episodes have also been uploaded to the MLP YouTube channel prior to the announcement. On 17 September 2020, it was reported that a second season was in production.[7][better source needed] The second season premiered on 10 April 2021.[8][9]
In Ireland, the series premiered on Tiny Pop on 1 September 2020. The second season premiered on the network on 2 April 2021.[10]
The show last aired regularly on Discovery Family in September 2023. Despite that, the network still owns the show's broadcasting rights.[citation needed]
