New episodes of the Allspark Animation produced series will also stream live and on demand on Discovery Family GO, the network’s TV Everywhere app.
In the back-to-back season premiere titled “The Beginning of the End,” Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decide to retire and hand off the ruling of Equestria to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, which sends Twilight into a tailspin of self-doubt. Meanwhile, an ancient villain bands together a legion of nefarious characters to conquer all of Equestria, challenging Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 to step in and save the day.
Over the years, fans have followed the Mane 6 through countless songs and adventures and have met many friends along the way. Leading up to the season nine premiere, Discovery Family celebrates all things MY LITTLE PONY with a week-long PONY PALOOZA takeover celebration starting bright and early at 6a/5c on Saturday, March 30 with a marathon of EQUESTRIA GIRLS specials leading up to the world premiere of EQUESTRIA GIRLS: SPRING BREAKDOWN at 11:30a/10:30c. Then, catch a marathon of the most magical episodes from the past eight seasons of MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC beginning at 6a/5c on Sunday, March 31 and running all week long during daytime. Revisit legendary moments throughout the span of the series including the discovery of the elements of harmony, the marriage of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, the defeat of Lord Tirek, the introduction of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Flurry Heart and Thorax, and the opening of Twilight Sparkle’s School of Magic amongst other major milestones all culminating with the two-part back-to-back season premiere episodes of MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC: SEASON 9.
Later this season, fan favorites “Quibble Pants” (voiced by Patton Oswalt) and “Cheese Sandwich” (voiced by “Weird Al” Yankovic) return to Equestria. Additionally, with brand new original songs, exciting new characters and even bigger adventures, MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC will celebrate its epic 200thepisode on Saturday, April 20 at 11:30a/10:30c with Twilight Sparkle and her big brother, Shining Armor, pitting their wits against each other to settle a long-standing sibling rivalry score.

What do you think? Are you a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Are you sad it’s ending?
I hope there will be a Season 10 of MLP Friendship is Magic or another My Little Pony involving Twilight Sparkles ✨, Spike, Rarity, Pinkie Pie , Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Discord, and all of Equestria. Will there?
Yes. I am a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I don’t understand why it’s ending.
I guess Lauren Faust is getting tired of this show and wants to move on with other projects. 🙁
Lauren Faust stopped being active with MLP mid second season, but was still accredited throughout all seasons.
My little pony inspired me a lot.I am sad…ACTUALLY A AM CRYING THAT IT WILL END.i loved IT SO MUCH.when I heard 9th season is the final,I WAS BURSTING INTO TEARS.Now…The Equestria Girls Will be next 🙁
I hope there will be a spin-off series. I’m just glad that Equestria Girls isn’t cancelled yet.

I hope so too. MLP is very popular and fabulous. . I just hope they find another season of MLP Friendship is Magic. or another MLP involving the Mane 6, Spike, Discord and all of Equestria.
I’m very sad and upset that they are canceling my little pony friendship is magic I love them pony’s I’ve watched them for a very long time I wish they would make a season 10
So true.I am crying
Me too. Will they make another MLP involving the Mane 6, Spike, Discord and all of Equestria in their normal, pony, dragon and whatever creature Discord is forms?
Me too
The ending is gonna be wonderful! They really put in effort to this last season and I’m glad they decided to finish it instead of forcing it for like 10 more seasons :p
It’s sad that My Little Pony is getting cancelled. I first learned this from a reply on one of my YouTube comments. I searched this up and this is what I got. Please don’t end
It’s a good decision it ends with season 9. Most of the series included just slice of life which was fun but predictable after some time and thus it got kinda boring. I guess they wanted to cut the ropes while still being a good memory.
No it’s not a good decision. It’s a sad ☹️ decision. Nobody wants MLP to end.
Yes i am sad that it’s ending, i really like the series and i always have. I’ll miss the show
Guess they do not like high ratings.
I can guarantee you that whatever show replaces this one will not get the ratings this one did.
They will then cancel that show and try to replace it and they will continue this cycle until they realize they should not have gotten rid of this show but by then it will be to late to bring it back.
I’m a 27 year old dude that’s been a fan since college. It’s going to be so hard saying goodbye to our pony girls. ;-;
They are so lifelike.
Well are there more episodes
Is there season 10
No. Read the whole thing.
So sad. This is my 6-year-old granddaughter’s favorite cartoon. I am not looking forward to telling her that soon there won’t be any more new episodes.
sex
I am nine years old,and I think u should tell her that IT Will take a LONG LONG LONG time to do season 10 :V
