My Little Pony gallops into 2017
 
Hasbro brand to return for “biggest year in history” with two new series and a movie
 
Two of Hasbro’s most popular series will return in 2017. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls have both been renewed for next year for their most exciting adventures yet.
 
The franchise’s iconic Mane 6 ponies will return to Discovery Family Channel in the new series of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in spring 2017.
 
The spirited teens of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls will also return with three brand new TV specials next year. These brand new 22-minute specials will follow this year’s popular Legends of Everfree TV movie with more fun, fashion and friendship than ever before.
 
Stephen Davis, EVP and Chief Content Officer of Hasbro said: “2017 will be the biggest year in the history of the My Little Pony franchise, including new and exciting stories that will air across television, various digital platforms and movie screens. The characters and humour of the My Little Pony brand appeals to audiences of all ages and demographics, and we think Pony fans are going love what’s in store in the coming year.”
 
Both of these renewals will help drive excitement for Hasbro’s previously announced animated feature film My Little Pony: The Movie, which will premiere worldwide on 6 October 2017. The film features the voices of some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including nominated actress Uzo Aduba, Emily Blunt, Kristen Chenoweth, Taye Diggs, Michael Pena, Liev Schrieber and pop superstar Sia.
