Peacock does not regularly release ratings information for its programs, so judging exactly how \u201cPonies\u201d performed relative to other titles is difficult. However, it failed to make an appearance on the Nielsen streaming top 10 charts following its release. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlong with Clarke and Richardson, the cast included Adrian Lester, Artjom Gilz, Nicholas Podany, Petro Ninovskyi, and Vic Michaelis.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=2785\">\u2018Magic School Bus\u2019 Live-Action Movie With Elizabeth Banks as Ms. Frizzle Lands \u2018Detective Pikachu\u2019 Director<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe logline for the show states: <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cMoscow, 1977.
