Enjoy Our First Look at Kaley Cuoco and Friends in True Crime Obsessed Series BASED ON A TRUE STORY
This summer, fans of true crime may want to tune into Peacock with the release of Based on a True Story. This dark comedic thriller series comes from showrunner, executive producer, and writer Craig Rosenberg (The Boys) and will follow three individuals wanting to cash in on everyone’s obsession with true crime. We have our first look at the stars Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant), Chris Messina (Air), and Tom Bateman (Thirteen Lives) as Ava Bartlett, Nathan, and Matt respectively.
A dark comedic thriller, BASED ON A TRUE STORY is about a realtor, a former tennis star and a plumber who seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America’s obsession with true crime.
I will say that based on the description and pictures, I’m really not sure what’s even going to happen in Based on a True Story. I’m definitely interested in watching a trailer for the series. Rosenberg did share this note, which adds a little more information though:
Over the last decade, a true crime phenomenon has swept over America. Podcasts, documentaries, fictional shows based on true stories – they dominate the culture. Murderers have become celebrities and celebrities have become murderers which inspired me to create this show.
I became fascinated with the idea of a relatable married couple whose youthful dreams hadn’t come to fruition and who saw the true crime tidal wave as an opportunity to change their lives and save their marriage. Our Los Angeles setting – the city where everybody wants to be famous – became a vivid backdrop to our story of fame, ambition, aspiration and murder.
Please sit back and join Ava and Nathan as they try to navigate the dangerous proposal they make.
You’ll be able to watch Based on a True Story on Peacock starting June 8th. The dark comedic thriller will run for 8 episodes.
