Based on a True Story season 2 confirmed for UK release on Sky
What's next for Ava and Nathan?
Sky has confirmed that it will be showing Based on a True Story season 2, following the success of its first run on Sky Max and NOW.
The satirical dark thriller was renewed for a second season in October 2023, just four months after the first season debuted on Peacock in the US. It isn't yet known when season 2 will be released, or when it will make its way over to screens in the UK.
Season 1 followed married couple Ava (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan (Chris Messina), who somehow end up joining forces with a serial killer terrorising Los Angeles.
But they don't plan on joining his rampage on the streets of LA – they instead seize a unique opportunity to capitalise on America's obsession with true crime and made a podcast with the killer.
Katie Keenan – Group Director of Acquisitions, Sky UK – said: "We are delighted to confirm Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina will be returning to Sky for a second season of dark comedy Based on a True Story.
