Is ‘Sneaky Pete' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
Fans of Sneaky Pete , the slick crime drama that hooked viewers with its clever cons and twisty plots, are still holding out hope for a fourth season. The show, starring Giovanni Ribisi as the charismatic con man Marius Josipović, left audiences on the edge of their seats when it wrapped up its third season in 2019. But with no official word on a continuation, what's the deal? Here's a deep dive into whether Sneaky Pete Season 4 is happening and everything known so far. The Story So Far: A Quick Recap
Sneaky Pete follows Marius, a con artist fresh out of prison, who assumes the identity of his cellmate, Pete Murphy, to dodge a dangerous gangster. By 'reuniting' with Pete's estranged family, the Bernhardts, Marius gets tangled in their messy, secretive world. The show, co-created by Bryan Cranston and David Shore, blends dark humor, high-stakes cons, and family drama. Over three seasons, it earned a loyal fanbase with a 96% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8/10 on IMDb.
The third season, released on May 10, 2019, ended with some closure but left plenty of loose ends. Marius nearly revealed his true identity to the Bernhardts, only for Otto to stop him, saying, 'It doesn't matter, you're family.' Meanwhile, Julia faced legal trouble, and the Bernhardts' bail bond business was at risk after Lizzie's betrayal. Fans were left wondering: would Marius ever come clean? What happens to Julia's court case? And where's the real Pete? Why Was Sneaky Pete Cancelled?
Amazon Prime Video pulled the plug on Sneaky Pete in June 2019, just weeks after Season 3 dropped. No official reason was given, which left fans frustrated and speculating. Several factors likely played a role: Shifting Priorities at Amazon : Around 2019, Amazon began focusing on big-budget blockbusters like The Boys and Lord of the Rings . Sneaky Pete , despite strong reviews, didn't fit their new 'blockbuster model.'
Declining Viewership : While Season 1 was a hit, viewership reportedly dipped in later seasons. Amazon doesn't share detailed streaming data, but reports suggest Sneaky Pete wasn't a major money-maker despite being the second-most-watched original in 2017.
Creative Changes: The departure of showrunner Graham Yost after Season 2 led to a tonal shift in Season 3 under Blake Masters. Some fans and critics noted a drop in quality, with Season 3 feeling less cohesive than the first two.
Despite the cancellation, the show's passionate fanbase took to platforms like Reddit to express their disappointment, with many calling it one of Amazon's best originals. Is Season 4 Happening on Amazon or Elsewhere?
As of July 2025, there's no confirmed Sneaky Pete Season 4 release date, and Amazon has not reversed its cancellation decision. The chances of a revival on Amazon seem slim, as the studio has shown no signs of revisiting the series.
However, there's a glimmer of hope. In July 2025, Netflix picked up all three seasons of Sneaky Pete for streaming in the U.S., marking the first time the show has been available outside Prime Video. This move, driven by Sony Pictures Television's ownership of the rights, has sparked speculation about a potential revival. While Netflix hasn't announced plans for a fourth season, the platform's history of reviving canceled shows ( Lucifer , Designated Survivor ) keeps the door slightly ajar.

11 Embarrassing Leaked Celebrity Texts
1. When Tyga was dating Kylie Jenner in 2015, his ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna shared the rapper's alleged text messages on Instagram, seemingly showing him begging to rekindle their relationship. 2. Speaking of, Blac Chyna (who now goes by her birth name, Angela White) leaked screenshots in 2016 that appeared to show her criticizing her then-boyfriend Rob Kardashian, allegedly calling him 'lazy' and 'insecure.' 3. Amid the drama around his exit from Don't Worry Darling, Shia LaBeouf shared a bunch of alleged messages — and a damning video — from Olivia Wilde. The 'receipts' directly contradicted Olivia's claim that he'd been fired from the movie; in the video, Olivia memorably said that the film's leading lady, Florence Pugh — whom she referred to as 'Miss Flo' — needed a 'wake-up call' as she tried to convince Shia to stay on the film. 'I feel like I'm not ready to give up on this yet, and I, too, am heartbroken, and I want to figure this out,' she said. 4. Months later, things got messier for Olivia as her ex-husband, Jason Sudeikis, appeared to slam her in leaked texts to their kids' nanny; in one of the messages, he allegedly branded her a 'deeply hurting mess.' 5. In 2023, Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend, Sarah Brady, shared a heap of disturbing messages she'd allegedly received from him as she publicly branded him 'emotionally abusive.' One of the apparent texts detailed a list of 'rules' that he seemingly requested that she follow during the course of their relationship. 6. In 2022, Kanye 'Ye' West shared a screenshot of a text he'd received from his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, which warned him to stop encouraging his fans to harass her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson. 'You are creating a dangerous and scary environment. Someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault,' read the message from 'Kim Other Phone.' 7. Not long after, Pete's friend, Dave Sirus, posted a bunch of alleged texts that Pete had sent Ye, one of which read: "Yo, it's Skete Can you please take a second and calm down It's 8am and it don't gotta be like this. Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met. What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so fucking lucky that she's your kids mom.' When Ye asked where Pete was, the comic wrote back, 'In bed with your wife.' 8. Who could forget about the time Adam Levine's alleged sexts to model Summer Stroh got leaked? 'That body of yours is absurd,' read one of the apparent messages from Adam, while another said, 'It is truly unreal how fucking hot you are.' Adam was — and still is — married to Behati Prinsloo, and while he denied Summer's claim that they had an affair, he did note that he'd 'crossed the line.' 9. When her talk show, Busy Tonight, got canceled after seven months on air, Busy Phillips revealed the sassy text she sent to an E! producer: 'You're bad at your job. Do better.' For context, the producer's last message to Busy was about marketing for the show, and she noted that she was totally 'blindsided' by the decision to cancel it. 10. Miley Cyrus's younger sister, Noah Cyrus, once texted her then-boyfriend Lil Xan an X-rated meme of singer Charlie Puth… Only for the rapper to think it was real and assume that Noah had cheated on him. They ended up breaking up, and Noah made all this public info! 11. And finally, in 2021, Kourtney Kardashian's ex Younes Bendjima posted a screenshot of DMs he'd received from her other long-term ex Scott Disick, which mocked her PDA with her now-husband Travis Barker. Yiiiikes. If you can think of more, let me know in the comments!

Breaking Down the Grotesque Ending of 'Together'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Together. If a gnarly body horror film that reads as an obvious metaphor for codependency sounds like it's up your alley, then writer-director Michael Shanks' feature debut Together may be your favorite new movie of the summer. Starring real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie as Tim and Millie, a couple who have fallen into a romantic rut after a decade of dating, Together plays on our fears surrounding toxic long-term relationship dynamics by bringing those worries to life in visceral, physical form. The film follows Tim and Millie as they move away from their friends and family in the city to a more remote country town, where Millie has accepted a teaching job. Tensions are already high between the pair, but after a day of hiking turns into an unexpected overnight stay in a mysterious and seemingly supernatural underground cavern, things go from bad to worse when they find their bodies are suddenly, uncontrollably drawn to each other—to increasingly squirm-inducing effect. After selling to Neon for a whopping $17 million following its breakthrough at Sundance—and facing a copyright lawsuit over allegations of idea theft that Shanks has described as "devastating" and "entirely untrue"—Together hit theaters on July 30 and is predicted to bring in upwards of $11 million across its five-day opening run. The movie has also received high praise from critics and currently boasts a near-perfect approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, your thoughts on Together's third-act twists will likely depend on how straightforward of an explanation you require out of your fright flicks. Let's break down how the buzzy body-horror dramedy ends. More show, less tell As Tim and Millie's need to be in each other's presence becomes all-consuming, causing their bodies to start to literally fuse together, the couple turns to muscle relaxers to slow down the process and reluctantly decides to use a buzzsaw to separate their merged arms. They're then able to split up long enough for Mille to head to the neighboring home of her fellow teacher Jamie (Damon Herriman) and try to retrieve the car keys she accidentally left there while Tim returns to the otherworldly cave in the woods where their plight began. At Jamie's, Millie discovers an old home video playing of two people who both look somewhat like Jamie participating in what appears to be an occult wedding ritual that involves both of them slicing open their wrists and pressing them together. The video, combined with Jamie's subsequent creepy behavior and suggestion that Millie and Tim should accept their fate as the alternative is much more unpleasant, confirms what those who have been paying attention will likely have already guessed: that Jamie was once two individuals who willingly underwent the same process and ultimately melded into one. Millie manages to escape the house but not before Jamie violently slices her arm open. Meanwhile, in the cavern, Tim discovers the couple they were told about who went missing in the forest before they moved to the area are still stuck underground in a grotesquely merged mutant form—showcasing the apparent horrific alternative Jamie was referencing. We don't get a ton of explanation about the cult that created the ritual or where the supernatural water that sets the transformation in motion came from, but, in this case, the show, don't tell approach keeps the movie from getting bogged down in its own lore. Once Millie and Tim both make it back home, Tim is prepared to sacrifice himself to stop the transformation and allow Millie to live on without him. But after he professes his abiding love to her, Millie reveals her wound and makes it clear she's ready to accept her own death right before she falls unconscious from blood loss. Spice up your life When Millie wakes up inside the house, she realizes Tim has allowed their arms to fuse together in order to keep her alive. They decide to let the transformation take its course and "become whole," as Jamie described it. The two then embrace and give into their corporeal union as the Spice Girls' "2 Become 1" soundtracks their metamorphosis. That weekend, when Millie's parents (Tom Considine and Melanie Beddie) arrive at the house for a visit, an androgynous-looking amalgamation of Tim and Millie (who we'll refer to as Tillie) answers the door, signifying the change is complete. We also see that a bell, a symbol of the cult, is now hanging at Tillie's door, seemingly hinting they have accepted the cult's belief system and may be planning on converting Millie's parents next. As far as the subtext of the movie goes, Shanks has said the story is based, "in many ways," on his ongoing relationship with his partner of 16 years. "These characters have been together for over 10 years, and Dave and Alison have been in their relationship for over 10 years," he told Slant. "They're playing this abstraction of the relationship that my partner and I have, but in this heightened, crazy, and much less kind way. You feel it with them, as they have a history, and they bring that emotional authenticity and history onto the screen." Considering Shanks has referred to the ending as a "romantic and loving resolution," it seems safe to assume the filmmaker intended the movie to be more of a love story than a cautionary tale. But in an interview with Variety, Brie also had a warning for those in a relationship who plan to see Together together: "'I think if couples leave our movie and end up breaking up, it wasn't meant to be."

‘The Naked Gun' Has The Second-Best Rotten Tomatoes Score For A Comedy This Decade
The Naked Gun As I write this, Liam Neeson, of all people, has just landed one of the best-reviewed comedies of the entire 2020s, his new reprisal of The Naked Gun. As dozens of reviews pour in, The Naked Gun has a 96% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, down from a 100% a short while ago. It's still in flux, but if it maintains that figure, it is tied for second place in terms of the best-reviewed US-based comedy since 2020. Here's the list of the other movies that The Naked Gun is tied with or just above during this time period: As you can see, it's in high company, though I would argue this is probably one of the highest-profile comedies on the list other than maybe The Banshees of Insherin, given that it stars big A-lister Liam Neeson, plus the always-recognizable Pamela Anderson, who has been going through a career resurgence as of late. News broke yesterday that Neeson and Anderson may in fact be dating now, making this extra adorable. The Naked Gun is a return to being the sort of absurdist comedy that simply does not get made anymore, and somehow, Liam Neeson, of all people, turns out to be the perfect man to lead it after making the same Taken variant action movies for most of the last ten years. If you don't know what this style of humor is, you can watch the trailer below and figure it out pretty quickly. In terms of these scores, I would argue it's very hard to get people to agree on what's funny rather than what's scary or emotional or a fun blockbuster, given how subjective humor is. So when you see a movie with this level of consensus, clearly it's done something right. The Naked Gun will be released this Friday on August 1, and we'll see how it ends up performing at the box office, if these reviews and Naked Gun nostalgia can translate into solid revenue. But comedies have pretty low thresholds for success with their not-high budgets much of the time, and just the fact that this exists and is this good is a win at baseline. So, we have a comedy classic on our hands, and one that more people are likely to watch than any others on that list, I'd say. Check it out for yourself this Friday. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
