Peacock premiered its new crime drama “M.I.A.” on May 7

Peacock is scheduled to premiere its new crime drama "M.I.A." on May 7, 2026, with all nine episodes of the inaugural season to be released simultaneously in a binge format rollout. Watch the trailer.

Set and filmed in South Florida, “M.I.A.” follows Etta Tiger Jonze (played by Shannon Gisela), a tough-as-nails woman from the Florida Keys whose family’s drug operation collapses in tragedy. Struggling to survive, Etta is drawn into the neon-lit and dangerous underworld of Miami—a journey that transforms her into a formidable queenpin. The show is spearheaded by writers and executive producers Bill Dubuque (Ozark) and Karen Campbell (Dexter).

Filmed entirely in Miami-Dade County, “M.I.A.” is a rare case of a television series both set and produced on location in Miami. Streaming on Peacock starting May 7, this 9-episode thriller promises an intense, location-rich dive into Miami’s criminal depths.
