Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina are getting a little too close to the truth in the latest trailer for Peacock’s upcoming series Based on a True Story.
The eight-episode series from executive producer and writer Craig Rosenberg follows a realtor, a former tennis star and a plumber who seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America’s obsession with true crime.
In the trailer, Cuoco stars as Ava Bartlett, a true crime junkie whose life takes a turn when she witnesses a potential murder in her own neighborhood. With a baby on the way and bills piling up, Ava convinces her husband Nathan (Messina) to start a true crime podcast where they’ll try to solve the murder themselves. However, things start to get messy as Ava and Nathan get closer and closer to the killer.
