Peacock’s ‘Based on a True Story’ Releases First Look Photos + Premiere Date

True crime has always been a fascinating subject that viewers gravitate towards. It’s a bittersweet concept because although these are factual events that affected real people, it’s one of Hollywood’s biggest money makers whether in true crime documentaries, podcasts, or scripted retellings. Peacock’s upcoming series Based on a True Story will follow the true crime wave.

Created by Craig Rosenberg and starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina, Based on a True Story follows “a realtor, a former tennis star and a plumber seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America’s obsession with true crime.” This concept feels similar to Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, but I love that show, so I’m sure I’ll love this. Especially since Peacock’s Originals are rarely misses.
