Sneaky Pete Will Debut on Amazon in 2016
The star of Breaking Bad is coming back to TV! Well, sort of. And… sort of. Amazon quietly revealed in September that it had picked up a full season of a pilot first posted to Prime in August: Sneaky Pete, a con-artist drama conceived by ex-Walter White Bryan Cranston.
Now the retailer has announced that the show is coming to Prime Video next year.
The series follows a criminal (Giovanni Ribisi) who assumes the identity of his former cellmate, Pete, after leaving prison. “In order to keep the charade up, he plays the part of a skip tracer, taking down criminals worse than himself,” according to the show’s logline — “and discovering a family life he’s never had.”
The series, co-produced with Sony Pictures Television, also stars Marin Ireland, Margo Martindale, Peter Gerety, Libe Barer and Shane McRae — and features a cameo from Cranston himself in its first episode. Its pilot was directed by Horrible Bosses helmer Seth Gordon.
Season 1 will debut on Prime Video in 2016.
