Where to watch Based on a True Story season 2 online
The Bartletts return, but having a baby in tow this time out doesn’t mean a new series of murders won’t lure them back in. So keep reading as we explain how to watch Based on a True Story season 2 online from anywhere in the world.
After season 1 saw married true crime podcasters Ava (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan (Chris Messina) discover their friend Matt (Tom Bateman) was in fact the Westside Ripper that they’d been investigating, they agreed to remain tight lipped as long as he changed his ways (and appeared on their show, obvs.). But when a speight of fresh murders occurs around the same time Ava’s sister Tory (Liana Liberato) announces her engagement to Matt, the Bartlett’s become obsessed with finding out if their future brother in law is the killer.
Ava’s new ‘mom-friend’ Drew (Melissa Fumero), provides a welcome distraction, but is she all that she seems? Showrunner Annie Weisman teases that it’s a “Surprising new role” for the former Brooklyn Nine-Nine star.
With the stakes even higher and the comedy even darker, this sophomore outing could prove to be even more riotously entertaining than the first. So read on for how to watch Based on a True Story season 2 online, from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
