Watch the Trailer for Based on a True Story Season 2
My obsession with true crime is normal, right?
The Westside Ripper is back, and whoever it is has put Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina on high alert. (It can’t be Matt again... can it?) Peacock has released the official Season 2 trailer for the hit dark comedy thriller, Based on a True Story, and things are about to get nutty in sunny Los Angeles.
From executive producer Annie Weisman, Based on a True Story follows realtor Ava Bartlett, and her tennis-playing husband Nathan, as they revel in their obsession with true crime and investigate murders near them – while producing a podcast with who they believe is the killer.
In Season 2, new characters, new drama, and a new case will test the Bartletts as they plunge into even more danger. Can they solve a new murder mystery? You'll have to watch to find out.
When will Season 2 drop?
All eight episodes will drop on Thursday, Nov 21, perfect for a fall TV binge.
What is Season 2 about?
Season 2 finds new parents Ava (Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Messina) three months into parenthood. Focused on taking care of her family, Ava is determined to resist her true-crime obsession and return to work as a real estate agent while Nathan trains private tennis clients.
But a series of new murders pulls her back in. Is Matt (Tom Bateman) behind the slayings? Is Tory (Liana Liberato), now entangled in a relationship with Matt, in danger? For a while, life is good. Ava’s TikTok habit and her new friend, Drew (Melissa Fumero), provide a welcome distraction, and Nathan’s all in on reigniting his tennis career as well as his friendship with Matt – until danger comes knocking. Literally.
