Bill Dubuque's crime drama 'M.I.A.' is set to premiere on Peacock on May 7, with a thrilling first look at the series. The show, created, written, and executive produced by Dubuque, promises an intense binge-watch with its 9-episode season. The cast includes Shannon Gisela, Cary Elwes, Danay Garcia, Brittany Adebumola, Dylan Jackson, Alberto Guerra, Maurice Compte, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans. The series centers around Etta Tiger Jonze (Gisela), whose family business of drug running is threatened, forcing her into an unexpected life of crime in Miami's criminal underworld. What sets 'M.I.A.' apart is its unique setting and production. Unlike many shows set in Miami, which are often filmed in stand-ins like the Dominican Republic or Long Beach, California, 'M.I.A.' was primarily produced in Miami itself. This is a rare opportunity for viewers to experience the city's authentic criminal landscape. The show's production faced challenges, including the high cost of hurricane insurance in Florida, but the result is a visually stunning and culturally accurate portrayal of Miami's criminal underbelly. The series is executive produced by Karen Campbell, with Althea Jones directing the first two episodes. Additional directors include Gwyneth Horder-Payton, Marizee Almas, Ben Semanoff, and John Dahl. With its compelling story, strong cast, and authentic setting, 'M.I.A.' is a must-watch for crime drama enthusiasts.
