Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to the South Florida-set, female-led crime thriller M.I.A. from Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque.

MIA is the airport code for Miami. The South Florida area consists of Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties.

In M.I.A., running drugs is a family affair for Etta Tiger Jonze. But when her family is slaughtered before her eyes, Etta sets out to exact justice on those responsible – avenging her blood family. At the same time, she builds her chosen family, igniting her series journey from powerless orphan to South Florida’s most powerful criminal Queenpin.

M.I.A. is the latest series to cover SoFla’s seedy underbelly following the recently released titles including Chris Brancato’s Hotel Cocaine for MGM+ and two Netflix series: the Sofia Vergara-led Griselda and the early seasons of Narcos focused on Pablo Escobar, both of which had executive producers that include Eric Newman, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard. Narcos was co-created by Brancato. Showtime’s original Dexter series was also famously set in Miami.

Dubuque co-created Netflix’s crime drama Ozark alongside Mark Williams. Across the show’s four-season run, it was nominated for 45 Emmy awards, including four wins, in addition to honors at the Golden Globes, WGA, SAG and DGA Awards.

MRC will produce the series, with Karen Campbell (Outlander, Dexter) serving as executive producer and showrunner. Stefano Sollima will direct and executive produce; previously he served as creator and director of ZeroZeroZero and as showrunner and director of the Italian series Gomorrah.
