· In a highly competitive situation, Peacock has given a straight-to-series order for South Florida-set, female-led crime thriller M.I.A. from Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque.
· The series comes from studio MRC, 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 on the hit Italian series Gomorrah, widely recognized as one of the best international series of recent years.
· Logline: 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 while she builds her chosen family, igniting her series journey from powerless orphan to South Florida's most powerful criminal Queenpin.
