Ireland (Side Effects), Peter Gerety (Prime Suspect), Libe Barer
(Parenthood), Shane McRae (Still Alice), Michael Drayer (Mr.
Robot), and three-time Emmy Winner Margo Martindale (The
Americans). Sneaky Pete is a co-production with Sony Pictures
Television and is now available exclusively on Amazon Prime
Video.
“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.”

at no additional cost to their Prime membership with the
Amazon Video app for TVs, connected devices and mobile devices, or

Here’s what customers have to say:
- “Engrossing, superb acting. An exciting
show rivaling any of the best. Can’t wait to finish the
series.”
- “Outstanding cast - each member brings
their own unique characteristics in a perfect blend. Good
combination of comedy and drama without the needless sexual antics
seen in many contemporary shows.”
- “I loved this show. Had a little of
everything; intrigue, comedy, family, suspense, violence and a
heart! Can’t wait for season 2!”
- “The acting was phenomenal, the
storyline was intriguing, keeping you guessing what would happen
next till the end!”
- “Awesome show! I always love a good con
man storyline. Plus you can’t go wrong with Giovanni Ribisi and
Bryan Cranston!”
- “Love it. Makes me feel a lot like I
did when I was watching Breaking Bad. Highly recommend!”
Here’s what critics have to say:
- “(Sneaky Pete) is fun—a pleasing
balance of slick, Ocean’s Eleven-style con jobs and tense,
close-call escapes.” —Entertainment Weekly
- “Once you watch the first episode
of Sneaky Pete...I dare you not to start binge-watching its 10
episodes.” —Ken Tucker, Yahoo TV
- “Sneaky Pete is immediately
likeable, unspooling with exhilaration and then, almost when we’re
not expecting or even needing it to, the series develops other
favorable attributes that hint at a longer, more complex run...THE
BOTTOM LINE: Let this be a long con...” —Tim Goodman, The
Hollywood Reporter
- “...a nice turn from Marin Ireland as
Pete’s cousin and Marius’ fellow bond agent. As for Cranston
and Martindale, their work is as riveting and entertaining as
always — filled with humor, menace, nuance and a lively
intelligence.” —Robert Bianco, USA TODAY
- “Graham Yost sustains a tone of
suspenseful and offbeat humor in this well-cast, smartly written
sleeper.” —Matt Roush, TV Guide
