“M.I.A.” lands Thursday, May 7, with all nine episodes available at once in the U.S. on Peacock, and NBC will follow with a special telecast of the pilot on Thursday, May 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. In the U.K. and Ireland, the series will also be available as a complete box set on Paramount+ the same day.
The release gives the crime drama an unusually broad launch. In Canada, it will stream on StackTV, while Australia will get it on Paramount+. The series may also be available for free in New Zealand on TVNZ+, though that remains to be confirmed.
Created by Ozark co-creator Bill Dubuque, “M.I.A.” is set around Miami and the Florida Keys and centers on Etta Tiger Jonze, played by Shannon Gisela. She is forced to choose between a life of luxury funded by crime and a mission to bring down the people who killed her family.
That premise gives the show its engine: money, revenge and survival pulling Etta in opposite directions. The setting matters, too. The series is described as soaked in underworld violence and bathed in the healing sunlight around Miami and the Florida Keys, a contrast that fits a story built on glamour and brutality in the same frame.
The NBC telecast on May 14 is the clearest signal that the network wants the show to reach beyond the streaming audience that gets the full-season drop first. But the main event is still the same one-day rollout on Peacock, where viewers will get the whole season immediately instead of waiting week by week. For a crime drama built around a woman deciding how far she will go for justice, that binge-ready launch is the cleanest possible fit.
