A new MY LITTLE PONY series is coming to YouTube.
“Titled MY LITTLE PONY: FOREVER FRIENDSHIP, the show will debut on YouTube in early 2027,” Variety reported, adding that nine-minute episodes will drop bi-weekly.
The series will follow the adventures of Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as they explore topics like friendship, magic and self-discovery.
Led by showrunner and head writer Gretchen Mallorie and series director Tayhan Mustafa, both of whom previously worked on MY LITTLE PONY: TELL YOUR TALE, the show will also introduce “a new visual direction for the brand, defined by ‘luminous color, iridescent magic and expressive design rooted in character and emotion,’” per Animation Magazine.

“For over forty years, MY LITTLE PONY has remained one of Hasbro’s most beloved and enduring franchises, connecting with generations of fans around the world through stories rooted in friendship, imagination and creativity,” Kim Boyd, president of global licensing & entertainment for Hasbro, said in a statement. “With MY LITTLE PONY: FOREVER FRIENDSHIP, we’re continuing to grow the brand through fresh storytelling, a visionary creative team and new entertainment experiences designed to inspire today’s audiences while staying true to the heart of what fans have always loved about MY LITTLE PONY.”
This isn’t the only MY LITTLE PONY project in the works. In 2025, Variety confirmed that a live-action movie is in development.
“This will be the first live action project for the 43-year old property, which has captivated several generations with its rainbow-hued animals with colorful neon manes and tails,” the outlet explained. “The project is still in development with no creative team in place yet.”
First introduced in 1983, MY LITTLE PONY has spawned a best-selling line of toys, several movies and TV shows and other merchandise.
“The MY LITTLE PONY brand has grown tremendously since its debut more than 25 years ago,” said Valerie Jurries, Global Senior Vice President of Marketing at Hasbro. “We’re so proud that what started out as the story of six magical best friends has turned into a whimsical, wonderful community filled with millions of girls from across the globe.”
Movieguide® gave 2021’s MY LITTLE PONY: A NEW GENERATION movie a +3 content score, praising its “strong Christian values” and themes of “love, friendship, kindness, compassion, peace and understanding.” The 2023 Netflix series, MY LITTLE PONY: MAKE YOUR MARK: Episodes 6.1 to 6.3, however, earned a -1 score due to “many mentions of magic powers and spells, plus some light cartoon violence.”
MY LITTLE PONY: FOREVER FRIENDSHIP is sure to be another exciting installment in the world of MY LITTLE PONY. The series will premiere on YouTube in early 2027.
