What To Expect From Based on a True Story Season 2
: Peacock Moves Ahead with Based on a True Story Season 2 Following Shocking Season FinaleAside from the predicament of Ava and Nathan being caught in the aftermath of Ruby's murder, there was another major unresolved storyline in the season 1 finale of Based on a True Story. While they were busy cleaning up, the show also revealed a surprising twist at their home. Ava's younger sister, Tory (portrayed by Liberato from Scream 6), was shown together with Matt, played by Bateman. It appears that the two have been secretly involved with each other, hidden from the main couple. Although not explicitly stated, it seems unlikely that Tory is aware of Matt's true identity as the West Side Ripper.
With the podcast gaining immense popularity and the duo now caught in a web of concealing one of Matt's murders, season 2 will take Ava and Nathan's challenges to a whole new level. The authorities are bound to intensify their efforts to uncover the podcast's creators since the couple cleverly managed to keep their identities hidden, putting them directly in the line of law enforcement. Furthermore, although they might succeed in convincing Simon that his experiences are merely a result of drunken hallucinations, it will inevitably give rise to an ongoing power play among the three individuals.
You can expect a major focus on the evolving relationship between Tory and Matt in season 2 of "Based on a True Story." Considering Matt's tendency to target and harm younger women, including those he has an attachment to, Tory might become the next potential victim of the West Side Ripper. However, due to his close bond with Ava and Nathan and his desire to safeguard the podcast, he might find a way to turn this situation into an intriguing new chapter for their listeners.
