The Plot Thickens
Based on a True Story season 1 ended with Ava and Nathan's true crime empire collapsing online as they face criticism for giving a serial killer a platform, leading the West Side Ripper to take control of content creation. The season 2 trailer picks up with Ava and Nathan three months into parenthood.

For a while, things seem calm as Ava finds distraction in her TikTok habit and new friend Drew (Melissa Fumero), while Nathan is committed to his tennis career and reconnecting with his plumber friend, Matt. However, the Based on a True Story season 2 trailer reveals that the return of the West Side Ripper and a series of new murders pulls Ava back into true crime. She begins to suspect that Matt may be behind them, and her younger sister Tory, who begins dating Matt, may also be in danger.
Our Take On The Based On A True Story Season 2 Trailer
It Promises A Worthy Follow-Up To Season 1
Though true-crime enthusiasts may be satirized more sharply in other shows like Only Murders in the Building, Based on a True Story season 1 was well worth a watch for its engaging leads and touch of light humor. The season 2 trailer has all the makings of another darkly comedic ride that fans of the first season loved. With Ava diving back into the world of true crime that she tried to leave behind, Based on a True Story season 2 promises more of the same that made season 1 such a binge-worthy experience.
