Peacock has two My Little Pony series with different episode counts

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has 221 episodes available on Peacock. This is the main series that ran from 2010 to 2019 and includes all nine seasons. My Little Pony: A New Generation, the newer film-based series, has one season with 5 episodes currently on the platform.

The availability of these shows depends on your Peacock subscription tier. Both series are included with a Peacock Premium subscription, which is the paid tier. The free tier of Peacock does not include these titles.

Episode counts and availability can shift when Peacock updates its catalog, so if you are looking for a specific season or episode, searching the app directly will show you what is currently there. Licensing agreements between Peacock and the content owners can change, which means the shows you see today may not be there in six months or a year.

Key Takeaways

  • Friendship Is Magic contains all 221 episodes across nine complete seasons and requires a Peacock Premium subscription.
  • A New Generation has 5 episodes in its first season and is also behind the Premium paywall.
  • The free tier of Peacock does not include either My Little Pony series.
  • Peacock's catalog changes periodically, so the titles available may differ from month to month based on licensing terms.

Friendship Is Magic: the full series breakdown

Friendship Is Magic is the complete run of the show that defined the modern My Little Pony franchise. All 221 episodes are split across nine seasons, with each season containing between 13 and 26 episodes. Season 1 has 26 episodes, Season 2 has 26, Season 3 has 13, Season 4 has 26, Season 5 has 26, Season 6 has 26, Season 7 has 25, Season 8 has 25, and Season 9 has 26.

The series follows the same characters from beginning to end, so watching in order makes sense if you are new to it. The first episode introduces Twilight Sparkle and the core cast. Later seasons add new characters and storylines but keep the same world and relationships. The show concludes with a proper ending in Season 9, so you get a complete story from start to finish.

You will need to be signed into a Peacock Premium account to watch any of these episodes. Peacock Premium is a paid subscription separate from the free tier. Once you have Premium, you can stream all 221 episodes without additional charges beyond your monthly subscription cost.

A New Generation: the newer series

My Little Pony: A New Generation is a newer entry in the franchise that launched after Friendship Is Magic ended. It takes place in the same world but with a new generation of characters and a different tone. The series currently has 5 episodes available on Peacock, making it a shorter commitment than Friendship Is Magic if you want to sample the newer direction of the franchise.

This show is also exclusive to Peacock Premium subscribers. If you are interested in both series, a single Premium subscription covers both, so you do not need to pay extra to watch A New Generation after finishing Friendship Is Magic.

The newer series is designed to stand on its own, so you do not need to have watched Friendship Is Magic to understand what is happening. However, longtime fans of the original series may notice references and callbacks to earlier characters and events.

What subscription tier you need

Peacock offers a free tier and a Premium tier. My Little Pony content is not available on the free tier. You must have a Peacock Premium subscription to watch either Friendship Is Magic or A New Generation.

Peacock Premium is a monthly paid subscription. The cost varies depending on whether you choose an ad-supported or ad-free plan, and whether you bundle it with other services. You can check the current pricing directly on the Peacock website or app. Some people also get Peacock Premium as part of a bundle with other NBCUniversal services or through certain internet or phone providers.

Once you find a series, you can see all available episodes listed by season. Peacock lets you start from any episode, but watching Friendship Is Magic in order from Season 1 gives you the full story arc.
