‘M.I.A.’ Trailer Previews the New Crime Drama Series From ‘Ozark’ Co-Creator!! Check It Out!!

Peacock has carved out a niche with its audience with interesting originals. The streamer’s hit mystery of the week series Poker Face, created by Knives Out visionary Rian Johnson, is perhaps the best known, but their library is full of fan favorite content like Pitch Perfect spin-off Bumper in Berlin, Sarah Snook’s devastating thriller All Her Fault, and the true crime anthology series Dr. Death.

Now the streamer is bringing another exciting thriller series, M.I.A., a new crime drama created by Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque and is showrun by Dexter writer Karen Campbell. It has set a great cast and episode directors to bring out the story of Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), a girl hellbent on taking revenge for her family after a tragedy.

The series has released a thrilling trailer that will satisfy fans’ demand for epic action set against the backdrop of Miami’s neon-lit underbelly. It highlights Etta’s origin story while leaving the breadcrumbs about the mafia bosses she’ll be attempting to kill. The trailer sets a brilliant tone and will be appreciated by fans who love movies about underdog assassins (Hi, John Wick).

What’s ‘M.I.A’ About?

While most details are under wraps, Peacock previously unveiled a synopsis teasing the plot. Etta dreams of a life in Miami’s glittering, sub-tropical kingdom, but things take a turn when her family’s drug-running business shatters in tragedy. She then “embarks on a dangerous journey through Miami’s neon-lit underbelly that will define who she is and what she’s ultimately capable of.” Along with Gisela, the series also stars Cary Elwes, Danay Garcia, Brittany Adebumola, Dylan Jackson, and Alberto Guerra. Also rounding out the ensemble are Maurice Compte, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans, among others.

Dubuque’s grounded and gritty writing always connects with the audience. His recent releases: His & Her starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson earned a 70% Rotten Tomatoes score, also Ben Affleck and Bernthal’s The Accountant 2 earned $103.3 million worldwide and garnered a 75% Rotten Tomatoes score, but perhaps he is best known for the Emmy-winning series Ozark. With elements of gritty action and familial bond, M.I.A. will be the one to watch out for. Showrunner Campbell is known for her work on fan-favorite titles such as Dexter, Raised by Wolves, and Outlander. Her range and expertise in complex, character-driven dramas are reflected in the new trailer, which is full of some good character moments. The 9-part crime drama will have hour-long episodes and will debut on May 1.
