What is the second season of Based on a True Story about?

In Based on a True Story, Season 2, Ava (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Chris Messina) are only three months into their parenting journey, and things are far from peaceful. While Ava is determined to focus on her family, get back on track with her work as a real estate broker, and refrain from delving into her addiction to true-crime stories, Nathan is working as a tennis instructor. Of course, their life could not be simple- a new wave of crimes comes up, and Ava is sucked into the world of crime once again. Is Matt (Tom Bateman) behind these newfound mysteries? We'll soon find out.

In between TikTok videos and a recently started friendship with Drew (Melissa Fumero), Ava manages to keep her mind off the mysteries.

On the other hand, Nathan is focused on rekindling his tennis career and his friendship with Matt. But the quiet doesn't last long and soon danger will be knocking at their doors. This new season is promising more suspense, in a delightful and explosive mix of comedy and tension.

Is Matt truly guilty or just a suspect on the list?

When we were introduced to Based on a True Story, it seemed Matt had something to hide. The series threw hints about his "suspicious activities", keeping viewers on the edges of their seats all the time.

It seems the upcoming second season is about to elevate the mysteries quite a notch. With all these new crimes and Ava's suspicion increasing, the big revelation is still pending. However, one thing is certain, Matt is still the top suspect on the list.

Melissa Fumero—A comic boost for the new season of Based on a True Story

Attention please, any Brooklyn Nine-Nine enthusiasts here? Can you imagine Melissa Fumero adding her Amy Santiago touch to Drew, Ava's new friend? Imagine Fumero doing what she does best—being comedic and full of attitude with that sharp wit only she has. While Drew and Ava might not be exactly in the 99th precinct, they're ready to tackle mysteries with the right blend of lightheartedness, fun, and charm.

Social commentary—in the age of endless scrolling

A huge and clever aspect of Based on a True Story is how it addresses Ava's social media addiction and her obsession with true-crime stories. It delivers a witty commentary on our almost unstoppable fascination with crimes and mysteries, constantly available in the palm of our hands.

Ava is the perfect embodiment of this curiosity that blends entertainment with obsession. Despite her attempts to stay away, she is constantly pulled back to the world of crime. The series also poses the one-million-dollar question: where does the boundary between entertainment and reality begin to blur?
