Amazon is allowing Pete to sneak around a bit more. Sneaky Pete has been renewed for season two.
The renewal comes less than a week after the full first season debuted on Amazon’s Prime streaming service. Amazon claims Sneaky Pete had the second-biggest premiere day streaming audience of its originals thus far. (The Man in the High Castle holds the record.)
The series follows con-man Marius (Ribisi) as he takes on the identity of Pete, a fellow prisoner (Ethan Embry) who wowed Marius with tales of his idyllic childhood. However, the family, headed up by Margo Martindale’s Audrey, is maybe a little more Gallagher (Shameless) than Brady (The Brady Bunch). Bryan Cranston plays Vince, the crime lord who’s got Marius in a vice. Marin Ireland, Peter Gerety, Libe Barer, Shane McRae, and Michael Drayer (Mr. Robot) also star.
Sneaky Pete was co-created and is executive produced by Cranston, and executive produced by Graham Yost (Justified), who is also the showrunner, as well as Yost’s fellow Justified exec producers Michael Dinner and Fred Golan, and James Degus (All The Way). The series is a co-production between Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television.
