In the new crime thriller M.I.A., Etta loses her entire family after a trafficking job goes south. She then creates a new family when newfound friends Stanley and Lovely, whose loyalty is pushed by the things that Etta asks of them.

M.I.A. stars Shannon Gisela, Cary Elwes, Danay Garcia, Brittany Adebumola, Dylan Jackson, Alberto Guerra, Maurice Compte, Gerardo Celasco, and Marta Milans.

I talked to Shannon Gisela who plays Etta, Brittany Adebumola, who plays Lovely, and Dylan Jackson, who plays Stanely, about what subject matter they are an expert in, if Etta, Lovely and Stanely would have been friends if Etta didn’t go through this tragedy, why Stanely is so good at this darker lifestyle, if Etta would have gone down the drug cartel lifestyle, how far Lovely thought she would go for Etta, and what song calms them down.

M.I.A. on is now streaming on Peacock.
