In M.I.A. drug dealing is a family affair for Etta Tiger Jonze. But when her family is slaughtered before her eyes, Etta sets out to seek justice for those responsible - to avenge her blood relatives. At the same time, she builds her own chosen family, setting in motion her journey from powerless orphan to South Florida's most powerful criminal Queenpin.
M.I.A. is the latest series to tackle the seedy underbelly of South Florida, following recently released titles including Chris Brancato's Hotel Cocaine for MGM+ and two Netflix series: the Sofia Vergara-led Griselda and the first seasons of Narcos focused on Pablo Escobar, both of which had executive producers that included Eric Newman, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard. Narcos was co-created by Brancato. The Showtime series Dexter was also set in Miami.
Dubuque co-created the crime drama Ozark on Netflix with Mark Williams. During the series' four seasons, it was nominated for 45 Emmy Awards, including four wins, in addition to honors at the Golden Globes, WGA, SAG and DGA Awards.
MRC will produce the series, with Karen Campbell (Outlander, Dexter) serving as executive producer and showrunner. Stefano Sollima will direct and executive produce. He previously worked as creator and director of ZeroZeroZero and as showrunner and director of the Italian series Gomorra (2014).
