“Based on a True Story” returned to Peacock for a second season this week. We now find Ava and Nathan played by Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina, dealing with not only a murderer, but also their baby. Just like the first season things go off the rails as new murders start popping up, and Tory and Matt may be a thing.
CATCHING UP WITH THE SHOWRUNNER
With the release of the second season of “Based on a True Story”, I spoke Michael Costigan. He an executive producer on the series. During our conversation we talked about expanding the wild world of the series. Costigan noted that both Kaley and Messina had never met each other prior to the series and how that influenced the possibilities going forward in this season.
We also talk about the Ava and Nathan’s evolving role now as parents and how that will shift things. Finally Costigan teases what we can expect from the new addition to the cast Melissa Fumero.
