Sneaky Pete
The truth is always changing.
Created by David Shore, Bryan Cranston
On Prime Video
A slow-burn con-artist drama that balances criminal deception with genuine family connection, mixing deadpan humor and moral ambiguity across a short, canceled run.
A con man on the run from a vicious gangster takes cover from his past by assuming the identity of his prison cellmate, Pete, “reuniting” with Pete’s estranged family, a colorful, dysfunctional group that threatens to drag him into a world just as dangerous as the one he’s trying to escape - and, just maybe, give him a taste of the loving family he’s never had.
