Peacock has renewed the dark comedy series Based on a True Story starring Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory) and Chris Messina (The Mindy Project) for a second season.
Based on a True Story premiered in June and focused on Ava (Cuoco) and Nathan (Messina), a down-on-their-luck couple who cross paths with an infamous serial killer in Los Angeles. Ava, a true crime obsessive, hits on the idea of making a podcast with the killer as a way out of their rut.
The series is a satire of the true crime genre, but is also loosely inspired by real crimes and the documentaries and podcasts dedicated to them. Craig Rosenberg (The Boys) created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan through their production company Aggregate Films. Cuoco also executive produced the series.
Based on a Ture Story stars Kaley Cuoco, Chris Messina, Tom Bateman, Priscilla Quintana, Liana Liberato, Natalia Dyer, Alex Alomar Akpobome, Aisha Alfa, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, June Diane Raphael, Lizze Broadway and Li Jun Li.
