The first season of the crime drama revenge thriller M.I.A. is set to premiere on the Peacock streaming service on May 7th – and with that date just weeks away, a trailer for the show has dropped online! You can watch it in the embed above.
Cast and Synopsis
From creator Bill Dubuque (Ozark) and showrunner Karen Campbell (Dexter), M.I.A. stars Shannon Gisela (Her Study of a Killer) as Etta Tiger Jonze – and for this character, running drugs is a family affair. When the family business is threatened, she is thrust into a life she never expected, forcing her to use her wits to survive as she navigates Miami’s criminal underground.
As Deadline notes, in the trailer, it’s revealed that most of Etta’s family was killed, and the young woman is hell-bent on revenge. She must find and kill a dozen men who were behind the crime, who are also hunting for her. By her side are her new friends, Lovely and Stanley, bringing together Latinos and Haitians, two of the largest communities in Miami.
Brittany Adebumola (4400) plays Lovely, with Dylan T. Jackson (Godfather of Harlem) as Stanley.
Also in the cast are
- Cary Elwes (Saw)
- Danay Garcia (Fear the Walking Dead)
- Alberto Guerra (Griselda)
- Maurice Compte (Den of Thieves)
- Gerardo Celasco (Devil in Ohio)

- Sonia Braga (The First Omen)
- Loretta Devine (Family Reunion)
- Tovah Feldshuh (Nobody Wants This)

That’s a strong cast and the stories sounds interesting, so I’m looking forward to seeing what M.I.A. is going to be like.
