Amazon Renews 'Sneaky Pete' for Second Season

The series from executive producer Graham Yost will be back for a new season.

Amazon has renewed its original show, 'Sneaky Pete,' for a second season. The show's first season recently premiered exclusively through Prime Video in the US, UK, Germany, and Austria on January 13.

From the creator of 'Justified' and Executive Producer Bryan Cranston comes an exciting new series about a con-man, Marius (Giovanni Ribisi), on the run from a vicious gangster. Marius hides by assuming the identity of his prison cellmate, Pete, and takes cover with Pete's estranged family – a colorful group (headed by Margo Martindale) with well-guarded and dangerous secrets of their own.

"Bryan Cranston and Graham Yost have done a masterful job of steering the cast to fantastic performances," said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy and Drama, Amazon Studios. "Both the critical response and our customers’ engagement with the series are key factors in our enthusiasm to bring our audience a second season of Sneaky Pete."
