It looks like Marius’ con is over. Amazon has cancelled the Sneaky Pete TV show so there won’t be a fourth season of the drama series that was created by Bryan Cranston and David Shore.
An Amazon Prime Video crime drama, Sneaky Pete stars Giovanni Ribisi, Marin Ireland, Shane McRae, Libe Barer, Michael Drayer, Peter Gerety, Margo Martindale, Ethan Embry, and Cranston. The series centers on a con artist named Marius Josipović (Ribisi). After being released from prison, Marius has to go on the run from Vince Lonigan (Cranston), a vicious criminal he once robbed. Fresh out of options, Marius assumes the identity of his former cellmate, Pete Murphy (Embry) and, as a cover, involves himself with Pete’s estranged family.
Sneaky Pete started as a CBS pilot. The network passed on a series commitment but Amazon picked it up instead. Production moved from New York to California for season three with more than $9.2 million in California tax credits.
The third season of Sneaky Pete (including the defacto series finale) was released on Amazon on May 10th of this year. The series ran for 30 episodes in total.
What do you think? Did you like the Sneaky Pete TV show? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
My husband and I really enjoyed watching the series; it was fast-paced and a twist and turn at every corner. But…it ended perfectly, most loose ends were tied up and Pete walked away, knowing he loved this family and would only bring them more harm and danger if he stayed…he knew he would never change. Where could you go with the storyline at this point? It was a great ending to a fun series.
You make a very good and reasonable argument for wrapping this show as they did, but I have become so attached to all the characters that it’s hard to let them go. How about an occasional TV movie (90 – 120 min) where Pete comes around because he misses them so much and a story ensues. Just musing, but other shows have done it.
Amazing show!!!! Can’t say enough!!! I’ve laughed, cried, gripped the edge of my seat, yelled at the t.v., and fallen in love with this series. Heartbroken to hear Amazon has stupidly cancelled!! Please bring it back!!!!!
I feel the exact same way!!! I cried at the end of season 3. Gripping storylines and superb cast!!!
My family and I Loved Sneaky Pete. Please bring it back.
No no no!!!! I’m cancelling my prime! This is bull ****! This show was fantastic!!!
Wtf!!! Why would Amazon cancel a great show when they have SOOOOOOOOO many other DUDS on their streaming service. I’m done with these IDIOTS!! Bring back Sneaky Pete or cancel ALL the other (and there are plenty) horrible shows. Can you say The Tick, really!!! The Grand Tour, Betas, Picnic At Hanging Rock, get real Amazon
Loved Sneaky Pete. Hope they will change their minds about season 4.
I can’t believe Sneaky Pete is cancelled. I love the characters and the twisted plots!! Please reconsider!
Sneaky Pete and Jean Claude Van Johnson both need to be brought back… Great shows. None of the other Amazon originals kept me interested.
Bad decision.
One of the classier shows with a great cast and superior writing.
Will no doubt be replaced by a Real Divorced Housewives of some back end town.
Very good show. Very entertaining. Amazon needs to change their rating system so you can rate shows from the video app instead of having to go into the Amazon app or site and rate the show there. They’re missing out on feedback they’d have if it were quicker/easier to rate.
This is a huge disappointment. I love this show & it was the only one I watched on Amazon Video. I’d really like to see it picked up by Netflix for a season 4 to be seen by a bigger audience.
I thought it was a given that Amazon and Netflix both cancelled series after the third season to avoid the increased prices that actors, writers, etc. Would demand?
If that’s how it works, I won’t invest my time in any other shows from either!!!
Sneaky Pete was Great what bonehead would end this show. Hope someone else picks it up
I agree not a good choice by Amazon. Loved the development of characters and story. Maybe Netflix will pick it up.
That’s just plain WRONG. That is one of the best shows on tv. Perfect casting and perfect acting. The 3rd season gave us so many great story lines for the next season. This is a huge, huge mistake and one which will NEVER MAKE SENSE. Shame on you, Amazon!
I love the show. Please bring it back. Maybe Netflix will pick it up
