Where To Watch Based On A True Story

Created by Craig Rosenberg, "Based on a True Story" is the newest original series from Peacock. The show stars Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina as Ava and Nathan Bartlett, an unhappy Los Angeles couple expecting their first child. Their respective careers as a realtor and a tennis player-turned-coach bring them little satisfaction or financial respite. Like many Americans, Cuoco's Ava is an inveterate consumer of true crime media, and when their new plumber, Matt Pierce (Tom Bateman), turns out to have a possible connection to a wave of recent serial killings, the couple decides to bet it all on starting their own podcast to investigate the case.

The first season of "Based on a True Story" has eight episodes, and all of those episodes are available as part of Peacock's exclusive library. In other words, the only current way to stream "Based on a True Story" is if one has a Peacock subscription. 

If one is not presently subscribed to Peacock, the streamer's plans are currently starting at $4.99 a month or $49.99 for a full-year package. For subscribers, Peacock has both an app and a website where its content library can be streamed.
