Series Finale Set for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Discovery Family Channel is gearing up for the series finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, after nine years on air.

A 90-minute prime-time series finale event will air on Saturday, October 12, at 8 p.m. It follows as a villainous alliance unleashes their unified might on Equestria, and it’s up to the Mane Six to save the kingdom.

The final episodes of the Allspark Animation-produced series will also stream live and on demand on Discovery Family GO, the network’s TV Everywhere app.

Leading up to the night will be My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic—A Decade of Pony, an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the series, premiering Friday, October 11, at 5 p.m. The creators, animators and voice actors behind the show will share their favorite memories from the past nine seasons and invite viewers into the recording studio to witness the magic that goes into making an episode. Fans will gain never-before-seen access to the making of the series featuring a historical overview of the brand and interviews with Mane Six cast members, creator Lauren Faust and others.

Launched in 2010, the series follows the magical Princess Twilight Sparkle and her trusted dragon assistant Spike, who live in Ponyville in the enchanted land of Equestria, along with her colorful pony friends—honest Applejack, generous Rarity, kind Fluttershy, loyal Rainbow Dash and fun-loving Pinkie Pie. Together, they teach one another valuable lessons about friendship.
