Marius has run his last con. Amazon has opted to cancel Sneaky Pete after three seasons.
Created by Bryan Cranston and David Shore, Sneaky Pete starred Emmy nominee Giovanni Ribisi as con man Marius, who left prison only to find himself hunted by the vicious gangster he once robbed. With nowhere else to turn, he took cover from his past by assuming the identity of his cellmate Pete, “reuniting” with Pete’s estranged family. The series also starred Margo Martindale, Marin Ireland, Peter Gerety, Libe Barer, and Shane McRae.
Sneaky Pete originally started as a pilot for CBS but it did not go to series there. The pilot was then shopped around an Amazon picked it up in a rare success story. For the most recent third season, which debuted May 10, production moved from New York to California with $9.2 million worth of Golden State tax credits.
