Shannon Gisela, Brittany Adebumola & Dylan Jackson To Star In Peacock Series ‘M.I.A.’​on March 11, 2025 at 5:00 pm

Peacock‘s new crime thriller M.I.A. from writer and EP Bill Dubuque (Ozark) will star Shannon Gisela (Chasers), Brittany Adebumola (The Other Black Girl) and Dylan Jackson (City on Fire) in series regular roles. The project was given a straight-to-series order in August.

The South Florida-based series hails from showrunner and executive producer Karen Campbell (Outlander, Dexter). Alethea Jones (High Potential, Mrs. Davis) will direct and executive produce. The studio is MRC.

Running drugs is a family affair for Etta Tiger Jonze (Gisela) in M.I.A. But 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.

Adebumola will portray Lovely and Jackson will portray Stanley.

MIA is the airport code for Miami. The South Florida area consists of Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties.

M.I.A. is the latest series to cover SoFla’s seedy underbelly following the recently released titles including Chris Brancato’s Hotel Cocaine for MGM+ and two Netflix series: the Sofia Vergara-led Griselda and the early seasons of Narcos focused on Pablo Escobar, both of which had executive producers that include Eric Newman, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard. Narcos was co-created by Brancato. Showtime’s original Dexter series was also famously set in Miami.

Gisela is repped by BRS/Gage, Power Entertainment Group; Adebumola is repped by CESD Talent Agency, Authentic Talent and Literary Management and Schreck Rose Dapello; Jackson is repped by TCA and Link Entertainment.
