Miami Vice is an American crime drama television series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann for NBC. It stars Don Johnson as James "Sonny" Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami, Florida. The series ran for five seasons on NBC from September 16, 1984 to June 28, 1989, airing on Friday nights.
Unlike traditional police procedurals, Miami Vice drew upon 1980s culture such as contemporary pop and rock music, sports cars (such as the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach), and stylized visuals. People states that Miami Vice was the "first show to look really new and different since color TV was invented". Miami Vice heavily inspired the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
USA Network began airing reruns of Miami Vice on cable in 1988 and broadcast a previously unaired episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25, 1990. Mann directed a film adaptation released in 2006. In 2025, a new film adaptation directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Dan Gilroy was announced.
