A dark and comedic thriller, BASED ON A TRUE STORY, is about a real estate agent, a former tennis star, and a plumber who seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America’s obsession with true crime.
I will say based on the description and pictures, I’m not really sure what’s going to happen Based on a true story. I’m definitely interested in watching a trailer for the series. Rosenberg shared this note, but adds a little more information:
In the last decade, a real criminal phenomenon has swept America. Podcasts, documentaries, fictional shows based on true stories – they dominate the culture. Killers became celebrities and celebrities became killers which inspired me to create this show.
I was intrigued by the idea of a relatable married couple whose childhood dreams hadn’t come true and who saw the real crime tidal wave as an opportunity to change their lives and save their marriage. Our setting in Los Angeles, the city where everyone wants to be famous, became a vivid backdrop for our story of fame, ambition, aspiration and murder.
Please sit back and join Ava and Nathan as they try to navigate the dangerous proposition they make.
You will be able to watch Based on a true story on Peacock starting June 8. The dark comedy thriller will run for 8 episodes.
