CBS has picked up criminal drama, Sneaky Pete.
The drama has been co-written by Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston and House creator David Shore who will both serve as executive producers, according to Deadline.
The series will follow a con man in his 30s, who upon leaving prison assumes the identity of an old cellmate.
He uses the new identity to hide from debtors by working for his new family's bail bond business.
There, he will use his new job and alias to take down worse criminals than himself, teaming up with his pretty "cousin" who grows suspicious of his motives.
Sneaky Pete hails from Sony Pictures TV, where Cranston has a first-look deal and Shore is under an overall pact with the show.
Cranston's latest project, Kung Fu Panda 3, has recently been pushed back to March 18, 2016 to avoid a clash with Star Wars.
