Will there ever be a Sneaky Pete season 4?
Amazon Prime Video and the production crew of the Sneaky Pete series have not announced any intention of restarting production. Fans of the show often bemoan the abrupt end to the series in the third season despite multiple cliffhangers.
No one knows exactly why the production of Sneaky Pete was discontinued, especially since it was a huge success amongst fans. Sonia Saraiya of Variety, in her review, said:
The show’s murderous sense of timing makes it feel like a Rube-Goldberg machine of episodic storytelling, where the audience is constantly imagining the many ways this precarious construction will fall to pieces.
With ratings of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, 8/10 on IMDb, and 3/5 on Common Sense Media, the show’s cancellation puzzled and disappointed fans.

Is Sneaky Pete based on a true story?
The show is purely fictional. But one of the executive producers, Bryan Cranston, said that the main character, Marius, was inspired by his own life. According to Deadline, Cranston said the following:
But there are many examples of things that I was circumventing accountability in and finding my way through. And it’s OK if you’re a teenager from a broken home and you have no father as a mentor and your mother is becoming an alcoholic before your own eyes.
Sneaky Pete season 3 is where the action ended
The exciting drama that characterises the TV show came to an end in the third season, according to a ScreenRant review. Loyal fans were left with questions about several aspects of the series' plot.
Introducing new characters like Lizzie in season three added depth to the storyline. The euphoria of possible suspense soon fizzled out with the announcement of the show's discontinuation.

30 Sneaky Pete episodes were produced
According to IMDb, the first season of Sneaky Pete was released originally by Amazon Prime Video on August 7, 2015. It had ten episodic twists and turns. It introduced viewers to Marius, an ex-con and former con artist, who quickly found himself haunted by his criminal past.
To escape penance, he identified as fellow prisoner Pete, who was still incarcerated. Pete had unknowingly revealed enough information to Marius for the latter to believe that he could easily pass himself off to Pete’s family as their long-lost son.
Marius pulled off this stunt but soon found out that he was closer to his previous life as a con artist than he was away from it. The first season follows his struggle to keep his real identity a secret.
Season two of Sneaky Pete began airing on March 9, 2018, with ten episodes, like the opening season. The third and last season premiered on Friday, May 10, 2019, with ten episodes. This season ended with an attempt to save an important family member, while risking revealing hidden secrets.

Is Netflix airing another season of Sneaky Pete?
Netflix has no plans to produce a new season of Sneaky Pete. The streaming service has obtained the licensing rights to air all three seasons on its platform. This is possible despite releasing originally on Amazon Prime because Sony Pictures Television owns the underlying rights to the series.
According to What’s on Netflix, all three seasons of Sneaky Pete became available for streaming starting from July 10, 2025. This allows Netflix users to enjoy and relive the entertainment that the show offered.
Sneaky Pete cast members are superstars
The show’s production team delivered exceptional characterisation. Uproxx had this to say about the actors:
