Generation 5 toys and merchandise began sales in August 2021 to promote the premiere of the My Little Pony: A New Generation movie on Netflix. ANG picks up many years after Friendship Is Magic with a new cast of characters and many references to FIM. In this new world, the time of Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 is considered myth, and the Earth Ponies, Pegasus Ponies, and Unicorns all live separately throughout an Equestria void of magic with many preconceptions and prejudices about each other.

The new main cast, dubbed the Mane 5 by Hasbro, consists of Earth Ponies Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer, Pegasus Ponies Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm, and Unicorn Izzy Moonbow. Together, the five friends set out to restore the balance of magic to their land through friendship and cooperation between pony races.

Much like G1, ANG is followed by an animated series on Netflix called My Little Pony: Make Your Mark and a supplementary short-form series on YouTube called My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale.

Standard G5 ponies are similar in size to G4 ponies and have similar facial features, with slender bodies and feathered hooves similar to G2 ponies. Many have articulated limbs and wings and plastic manes and tails, unlike the brushable manes and tails of their predecessors.

G5's future is uncertain, with limited presence and no new product shown at the 2025 NY Toy Fair. Hasbro has previously implied that it is focusing on retro merchandising, seemingly jumping on the nostalgia bandwagon of other 1980s toys lines like Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, and Rainbow Brite.
