Peacock Goes Straight to Series with M.I.A.

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order for the female-led crime thriller M.I.A., written by Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque.

From MRC, the South Florida-set series follows drug runner Etta Tiger Jonze, who sets out to exact justice after her family is slaughtered before her eyes. Dubuque will executive produce alongside showrunner Karen Campbell (Outlander, Dexter).

Stefano Sollima will direct and executive produce. Previously, he served as creator and director of ZeroZeroZero and as showrunner and director on the hit Italian series Gomorrah.

MRC is also a producer on Peacock’s Poker Face, along with T-Street’s Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman and Natasha Lyonne’s Animal Pictures, as well as the hit comedy Ted. Both series will be returning to Peacock for a second season.
