Sneaky Pete is an American crime drama series created by David Shore and Bryan Cranston. The series follows Marius Josipovic (Giovanni Ribisi), a released convict who adopts the identity of his cell mate in order to avoid his past life. The series also stars Marin Ireland, Shane McRae, Libe Barer, Michael Drayer, Peter Gerety, and Margo Martindale. The pilot debuted on August 7, 2015, and was followed by a full series order that September. Shore left the project in early 2016 and was replaced by Graham Yost, who served as executive producer and showrunner for the remaining nine episodes. The series premiered in its entirety on January 13, 2017, exclusively on Amazon Video. On January 19, 2017, Amazon announced that Sneaky Pete had been renewed for a second season.
The first season of Sneaky Pete received very positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 100% 'Certified Fresh' rating based on 22 critic reviews, with the critical consensus "Suspenseful, smart, and terrifically cast, Sneaky Pete is part dramedy, part crime caper, and all in all entertaining."Metacritic gave the first season a 78 out of 100 score based on 21 critic reviews, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.
In November 2014, CBS gave a production commitment to Sneaky Pete. A formal pilot for the show was shot in New York in March 2015. On May 8, CBS decided to pass on the pilot, while also canceling Vince Gilligan and David Shore's other series on the network, Battle Creek. Just two days later, it was reported that the pilot might be moving to cable networks, with many expressing interest.
In June, it was reported that Amazon was in negotiations to pick up the pilot, with some tweaking and possible minor reshoots before being made available to the viewers. The pilot was released on Amazon on August 7, 2015 and was ordered to series on September 2, 2015.
