Peacock’s biggest streaming hit of the spring is already here — and if you haven’t started it yet, now is the time. M.I.A. dropped all nine episodes on May 7, 2026, and the crime drama set in Miami’s neon-soaked underworld has been turning heads ever since. Its pilot even aired on NBC on May 14, introducing the show to an even wider audience.

The Story: Revenge in Miami’s Underworld

The series centers on Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), a woman who is quietly restless in the Florida Keys — until her family’s drug-running operation is shattered by tragedy. What follows is a dangerous, high-stakes journey through the criminal heart of Miami as Etta seeks revenge and answers in a city that plays by its own rules. Created by Bill Dubuque (Ozark) and led by showrunner Karen Campbell, the series is described as “Narcos meets Ozark” — and it fully earns the comparison.

Shannon Gisela Commands the Screen

Breakthrough performance alert: Shannon Gisela as Etta is electric — fierce, wounded, and utterly magnetic. She anchors the show’s intense emotional core while navigating a world of criminals, corrupted loyalties, and Miami’s glittering moral ambiguity. Alongside her, Cary Elwes steps into the criminal underworld with scene-stealing menace, joined by Danay Garcia, Brittany Adebumola, Dylan Jackson, Alberto Guerra, and Maurice Compte.

Already a Streaming Hit

Nine binge-ready episodes, a Miami setting that pulses with heat and danger, and a heroine you’ll root for even when she makes the wrong choices — M.I.A. has all the ingredients of an instant streaming classic. Critics and audiences alike have responded to its tense, character-driven storytelling rooted in Miami’s cultural contradictions.

Where to Watch
