Based On A True Story S2
Season 2 of Based on a True Story 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 (Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn Nine-Nine), 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.
Three-time Emmy nominee Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant, The Big Bang Theory) stars as Ava, with Critics Choice nominee Chris Messina (The Mindy Project) and Tom Bateman (Death on the Nile) as Nathan and Matt respectively.
