In October 2010, she was invited by
Lauren Faust, the co-creator and producer for ''
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends'', to help write on
Hasbro's television revival of its
My Little Pony franchise. McCarthy, on a writing hiatus at the time, was inspired to accept by Faust's dedication and the strong female characterization she had presented. In 2011, Faust left the show after the two-part
season two premiere, and McCarthy was promoted to co-executive producer for its third season onward; she also served as the show's story editor. In early June 2015, Hasbro promoted McCarthy to become the company's new "Head of Storytelling" for their brands,
My Little Pony and
Littlest Pet Shop; her role will be to help "create expansive worlds and characters" across these brands, according to Hasbro's executive vice president Stephen Davis. On November 3, 2017,
Hasbro Studios and
Paramount extended their relationship with an exclusive five year production deal for Allspark Pictures and Allspark Animation for original and toy based films. Both Allspark units are newly formed (Allspark Pictures formerly was a financing label) with the film unit head by Greg Mooradian and the animation unit head by Meghan McCarthy. Paramount and Hasbro would also work together on TV series. Following Hasbro’s purchase of
Entertainment One in 2019, though, Allspark would later close down and be absorbed into the newly-acquired production company. ==Filmography==
