Peacock has just announced that its hilarious yet dark comedic thriller, “Based on a True Story,” will be coming back for a second season. And yes, the fabulous Kaley Cuoco and the talented Chris Messina are going to light up our screens once again!

 

A Little Throwback to Season 1

Remember Ava (played by Kaley Cuoco) and her husband Nathan (Chris Messina)? They were that down-on-their-luck couple who bumped into an infamous serial killer terrifying Los Angeles. And what did they do? They started a podcast with the killer, because why not, right? It’s a cheeky satire on the true crime genre, drawing some loose inspiration from real events.
