What is Sneaky Pete About?
David Shore and Bryan Cranston created the American crime drama series, Sneaky Pete. The series revolves around Marius Josipovi (Giovanni Ribisi), a recently released convict who takes on the identity of his cellmate, Pete Murphy, to avoid his past life.
The pilot premiered on August 7, 2015, followed by an entire series order in September of that year. After Shore left the project in early 2016, Graham Yost took over as executive producer and showrunner for the remaining nine episodes.
The first season premiered in its entirety on Amazon Prime Video on January 13, 2017. On January 19, 2017, Amazon announced the renewal of Sneaky Pete for a second season, which premiered on March 9, 2018. Amazon announced on July 28, 2018, that the series had been renewed for a third season, which was released on May 10, 2019.
The story’s premise is about an ex-con who wants to hide his identity and be someone else to escape his past. With nowhere else to turn, Marius accomplishes this by assuming the identity of his cellmate, Pete, and then “reunites” with Pete’s estranged family. They have no reason to suspect he is not their “long-lost loved one” as he knows a lot about him.
