Peacock's Based on a True Story Returns November 21; CBS to Honor Jerry Mathers at Awards Show
Nobody likes a copycat 🔪 Based on a True Story Season 2 drops November 21 on Peacock. Season two finds new parents Ava and Nathan Bartlett three months into parenthood. Focused on taking care of her family, Ava is determined to resist her true crime obsession and return to work as a real estate agent while Nathan trains private tennis clients. But a series of new murders pulls her back in - is Matt behind the slayings? Is Tory, now entangled in a relationship with Matt, in danger? For a while, life is good -- Ava's TikTok habit and her new friend Drew provide a welcome distraction, and Nathan's all in on reigniting his tennis career as well as his friendship with Matt -- until danger comes knocking, literally. 8 episodes will drop and the comedy stars Kaley Cuoco, Chris Messina, Tom Bateman, and Liana Liberato.
