(Miami, FL) – After close to a decade of magical adventures, Discovery Family announced today that the MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC series will embark on its final 26-episode ninth season on Saturday, April 6 at 11:30a/10:30c. 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 really hope you can change your mind and make a season 10! I want to see Princess Twilight Sparkle and Flash Century get married!!! I also want to see Princess Flurry Heart who should be a teenager pony by now. Also, if Discord was able to break out of his stone prison then the 3 villain’s who Celestia, Luna and Discord turned to stone should probably be able to do the same thing! Season 9 is not the best ending. No offence.
I have watched my little pony since I was little, and now I am nine and I still want a season 10! I relay hope you make a season 10. I also am excited for new villains or I love changelings so maybe Queen Chryslis comes back.
Ikr? If Discord can break out of his stone enchantment prison then the 3 villain’s who were turned to stone at the end should too!

In season 10, why not put the Dazzlings in season 10? Or Tempest Shadow? Or the Crystal prep ponies? Or Sunset Shimmer? Or new characters from Equestria Girls? That Will be really awesome!!! So put all these characters in season 10, pretty please??? 🙂
When I was A kid, I loved the show. But now since I’m older I have grown apart,but I have recently been watching the episodes. And I have realized that I can’t let those series go in my heart because they just means so much to me.Why let all that go, why let all that love go, I know a lot of people are sad because there will be no more seasons, but I don’t think it’s best to make people cry and maybe people will forget about them in a couple years but some people out there May never… Read more »

#Bring back MLP
There needs to be a season 10…I’ve grown to love this show 🙁
I love this show more than anyone to the extent I even almost got depressed because it ended
One of the best animated series to date in terms of content and animation. It conveys ways to solve issues and life lessons in real-life situations without being ridiculously infantile or over the top with them. As a father I often got myself thinking, “if the world would be just like their world, it would be a way better place for kids to grow up in”. The continuing adventures of the Mane 6 will be sorely missed.
