My Little Pony: The Ponies of Equestria (Johnsonverse)

My Little Pony: The Ponies of Equestria is an American-Canadian animated series based on the 2010 relaunch of the My Little Pony franchise by Hasbro. It focuses on various background characters who were fan-favorites on sister show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (2010-2020), especially among the brony community.

First announced in 2014 in response to the success of the 100th episode of Friendship is Magic, "Slice of Life", which aired in Season 4, the series began airing on Netflix in 2015, and since then, it has received universal acclaim. Reruns have aired on The Hub and Cartoon Network's daily schedule since 2017 and 2018, respectively. A sixth season will premiere on November 6, 2020, and even though the fifth generation of the franchise is set for a 2021 release, the series has been renewed to seventh and eighth seasons.
