The series, starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson, premiered in January 2025 and received strong critical acclaim (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) and solid audience scores (83%), but ultimately lacked sufficient viewership to justify renewal. Set in 1977 Moscow, the show followed two female spies known as "PONIES" (persons of no interest).
