Amazon Reveals Trailer and Premiere Date for Bryan Cranston and Giovanni Ribisi's SNEAKY PETE
Amazon Studios has a new series coming out that's being executive produced by Bryan Cranston called Sneaky Pete. The series stars Giovanni Ribisi, and the pilot episode premiered last year. It was so well received by audiences that Amazon decided to pick it up for a full season order. I really enjoyed the pilot, and I'm looking forward to seeing the story play out through the next nine episodes.
Ribisi plays a con man named Marius, who "with nowhere else to turn, takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of his cellmate, Pete, and then 'reunites with Pete’s estranged family—who have no reason to suspect he’s not their long-lost loved one. When a gangster holds his brother hostage for ransom, Marius must find a way to free him while at the same time struggling to keep his lies from backfiring. Meanwhile, his new 'relatives' are a colorful group who give him a taste of the loving family he’s never had, but have secrets and lies of their own that threaten to drag Marius into a world every bit as dangerous as the one he’s trying to escape."
Sneaky Pete is set to premiere on January 13th. The series also stars Marin Ireland (Side Effects), Margo Martindale (The Americans), Peter Gerety (Prime Suspect), Libe Barer (Parenthood), Shane McRae (Still Alice), and Michael Drayer (Mr. Robot).
