Starring Giovanni Ribisi, Marin Ireland, Margo Martindale, Peter Gerety, Libe Barer and Shane McRae, the show is executive produced by David Shore, Bryan Cranston, Erin Gunn and James Degus.
The pilot episode, currently available on Amazon Video and featuring a special appearance by Cranston, was directed by Seth Gordon, who also executive produces the series.
“We are excited to bring to Amazon’s customers a new compelling series headlined by Giovanni Ribisi from the minds of David Shore and Bryan Cranston,” Roy Price, vice president of Amazon Studios, said in a statement. “Sneaky Pete is an incredible addition to Amazon’s expanding drama slate and we are eager for its premiere in 2016.”
The series revolves around a con man who assumes the identity of his former cellmate after he leaves prison, joining the bail-bond business of the man’s estranged family, a synopsis said.
