Based on a True Story Season 2: A Dark Comedy Thriller

Back to the True-Crime Game for Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina

Only a month remains until Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina return to the true-crime game for Season 2 of the hit satire Based on a True Story. Peacock’s dark comedy thriller ended on a cliffhanger after the pair were found cleaning up blood, putting their scheme on thin ice as they start to feel the heat from Matt’s (Tom Bateman) murders. A new trailer gives a taste of where the couple is now as the season picks up three months into their parenthood.

The Footage Opens

The footage opens with Ava (Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Messina) seeking help for their fussy baby. As it turns out, a stressful pregnancy, perhaps involving murder, cleaning up bodies, and working with an actual serial killer on a podcast, could cause a baby to act out more, only creating more stress for the couple as new problems arise. For one, Tory (Liana Liberato) is taking her relationship with Matt to the next level by getting engaged. Although the idea of seeing her sister marry a murderer has Ava and her husband horrified, she insists that he’s taking steps to be a better person.

Back to the Murder Board

Matt’s insistence that he’s "healing" is immediately interrupted by a news report of a gruesome murder committed by the West Side Ripper. Matt is also curious about whom the copycat is, though, and indications are that he’s not the one responsible, which sends Ava back to the murder board to find the truth.

A New Investigation

Instead of bringing the killer in on their scheme this time, Based on a True Story Season 2 will now see Ava try to find their new suspect before more people die. Whoever is responsible, it’s somebody who knows her and Nathan, as they send her a clue to solve before their next attack. The investigation brings the couple down some strange rabbit holes, even leading to an underground sex party that Nathan sounds a little too happy to attend.

Who Joins ‘Based on a True Story’ in Season 2?

In addition to the returning Cuoco, Messina, Bateman, and Liberato, this season will welcome Brooklyn Nine-Nine favorite Melissa Fumero to the cast as Ava’s new friend Drew. Aaron Staton‘s Simon is also expected to return after he spotted Ava and Nathan cleaning up his wife’s blood. He might not be long for this world though, especially if the pair can’t talk their way out of the sticky situation in a way that satisfies him.
