Sneaky Pete trailer: our first look at Bryan Cranston’s new show

Only there’s a twist – he’s not actually Pete.

Sneaky Pete is centred around a criminal (Ribisi) who leaves prison and assumes the identity of his cellmate Pete. Well, he’s once again stepping into the bad guy role.

One does not just simply steal from Walter White… or whatever his evil alter ego name is in Sneaky Pete. From this trailer at least, Bryan’s character seems pretty thoroughly bad. Margo Martindale also stars as Pete’s grandma.

Debuting on August 7 on Amazon, the pilot for the con man drama written and executive produced by Bryan Cranston and David Shore was originally ordered at CBS.

Amazon, unlike Netflix for example, does things a little bit differently than other streaming platforms.

Amazon’s unique development process gives customers an opportunity to watch, rate and comment on which pilots they want turned into Amazon Original Series that are then available to Prime members. The premise was developed by Shore and Cranston after Cranston’s Emmy speech, encouraging the Sneaky Petes of the world to turn their life around.
