Based on a True Story season 2: Release date and latest news

As a cinephile who’s spent more years than I care to admit watching true crime shows and dark comedies, I must say that I’m thrilled about the return of Based on a True Story. The first season was a rollercoaster ride of suspense, humor, and unexpected twists, and I can’t wait to see where Ava, Nathan, and the gang go next.


Without a doubt, Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina’s dark comedy-thriller series titled “Based on a True Story” was warmly welcomed by audiences when it first appeared in 2023. Given this popularity, it comes as no surprise that the show is set to return for a second season.

As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled that US viewers can now binge-watch the latest episodes on Peacock. However, us UK fans find ourselves in a bit of a wait as we eagerly anticipate unraveling the mysteries surrounding Ava, Nathan, and Matt.

This somewhat eccentric show centers around Ava and Nathan, a married duo, who seize the opportunity presented when they learn about a serial killer living nearby. They cleverly invite this individual to join them in starting a genuine crime podcast.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but express my excitement about the unresolved ending of the first season. It appears that the second season might continue the suspenseful narrative, as showrunner Annie Weisman hinted at keeping an open door for future possibilities.

In an interview with ScreenRant regarding potential season 3, Weisman expressed: “We certainly kept the possibility alive, yet I’m equally pleased to mention that within our eight episodes, we managed to cram quite a bit.

It’s clear that Sky has confirmed they’ve secured season 2 of Based on a True Story, so you can expect this series to broadcast on Sky Max and NOW, similar to how the first season was aired.

When does the series resume for its next installment, the second season of “Based on a True Story”? Here’s what we have gathered for your information.

What will Based on a True Story season 2 be about?

In simple terms, Season 2 continues from where Season 1 ended, implying a slight time advancement, yet it’s brimming with more unrest and excitement to come.

As per the official summary, “Season 2 portrays Ava and Nathan Bartlett, who have been parents for three months. Eagerly devoted to their family, Ava aims to put aside her fascination with true crimes and rejoin the workforce as a real estate agent, while Nathan honors his commitment to coaching private tennis players.

Initially, I was enjoying the peace and fresh beginnings – my TikTok hobby and the arrival of my new friend Drew were providing a refreshing diversion. Nathan too seemed eager to rekindle his tennis career and strengthen his bond with Matt. However, tranquility was short-lived as a string of grisly murders resurfaced, leaving me questioning if it was Matt involved. With our blossoming relationship, I couldn’t help but worry if I might be in danger too.
