Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina star in the first images from 'Based on a True Story'.
Peacock has released a set of first-look images for Based on a True Story, the streaming service's upcoming dark-comedy-thriller limited series that is helmed by the Emmy Award-nominated Craig Rosenberg with Ozark star Jason Bateman attached to the project as an executive producer. The series will have 8 episodes, all of which will premiere on Peacock on June 8.
Based on a True Story was announced with a straight-to-series order from Peacock just over a full year ago in April 2022 and is set to stay true to its name as its story will take inspiration from true events. The story is set to serve as a satirical look at the obsession that America has with the genre of true crime as three strangers: a realtor, a former tennis star, and a plumber, as the trio decides to team up and capitalize on this true crime craze.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Along with the release of the first-look images, Rosenberg provided a statement about the upcoming series. In this note, Rosenberg spoke on how the genre of true crime has really exploded in the last decade in many different forms of media across different mediums and how the idea of turning criminals in celebrities inspired him in the creation of the show.
Over the last decade, a true crime phenomenon has swept over America. Podcasts, documentaries, fictional shows based on true stories – they dominate the culture. Murderers have become celebrities and celebrities have become murderers which inspired me to create this show. I became fascinated with the idea of a relatable married couple whose youthful dreams hadn’t come to fruition and who saw the true crime tidal wave as an opportunity to change their lives and save their marriage.
Based on a True Story will premiere on Peacock on June 8. You can check out the first-look images for the upcoming series below:
