Addictive crime series with twists that left people ‘doing a double take’ has been cancelled

Addictive crime series Based on a True Story has been cancelled after two seasons.

A dark comedy features Kaley Cuoco from “The Big Bang Theory” and Chris Messina of “The Mindy Project”. This story revolves around a struggling couple who launch their own true crime podcast as a means to overcome their financial hardships.

As a dedicated viewer, I’m excitedly sharing the news that according to Variety, the streaming platform Peacock has chosen to cancel both the show I adore, “Peacock,” and my laughter-inducing companion, “Mr. Throwback.” It seems like we fans will miss these two comedic gems!

The television series titled “Based on a True Story” garnered praise during its broadcast. The initial season in 2023 received a 76% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the second season, which debuted in November, boasts an even higher approval at 83%.

According to Culturess, the show’s unexpected events may leave viewers doubting their first impressions, causing them to look twice as they follow along.

In their 4-star review of the initial season, Digital Spy noted: “Regardless of whether you’re an aficionado of true crime or not, if you appreciate shows with a mix of the unusual and entertaining, there’s likely something in Based on a True Story that will appeal to you.

The Guardian proposes that the series sharpens the mild atmosphere of its neighboring production, escalating family-friendly content to adult-oriented intensity.

Currently, Cuoco has secured a new part in the TV series “Vanished,” working alongside Sam Claflin from “Peaky Blinders,” along with Karin Viard and Matthias Schweighöfer.

The series centers around Alice, who finds herself in a complex tangle of mystery and peril after her boyfriend Tom mysteriously vanishes during their romantic trip to Paris. As events unfold, Alice discovers some startling truths about the man she believed she understood.

Based on a True Story aired on Peacock in the US. In the UK, the show aired on Sky and NOW.
