Bryan Cranston's Drama Series 'Sneaky Pete' Gets Season 2 Renewal at Amazon
Amazon has only recently launched its latest drama series, Sneaky Pete, starring Bryan Cranston, but the network has already renewed it for a second season. This comes thanks to statistics that indicate the series was the second most streamed original scripted series on an opening day, behind The Man In the High Castle.
The series has been well received by critics. It comes from Sony Pictures Television, and was originally a pilot for CBS. It was co-created and executive produced by Cranston as well as executive produced by Graham Yost.
The cast includes Giovanni Ribisi, Marin Ireland, Peter Gerety, Libe Barer, Shane McRae, Michael Drayer and Margo Martindale, and Cranston, initially intended to play a cameo and guest role, ended up appearing in every episode. It marks his first regular role on television since Breaking Bad.
“Bryan Cranston and Graham Yost have done a masterful job of steering the cast to fantastic performances,” said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy and Drama, Amazon Studios. “Both the critical response and our customers’ engagement with the series are key factors in our enthusiasm to bring our audience a second season of Sneaky Pete.”
