Based on a True Story

Peacock has ordered BASED ON A TRUE STORY, described as a “dark comedic thriller,” straight to series.

According to the streamer, the series, “inspired by a bizarre true event, BASED ON A TRUE STORY is about a realtor, a plumber and a former tennis star whose lives unexpectedly collide, exposing America’s obsession with true crime, murder and the slow close toilet seat.” Craig Rosenberg created the show and will serve as showrunner.

“Inspired by real events, BASED ON A TRUE STORY explores America’s obsession with true-crime and serial killers,” said Lisa Katz, president scripted content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. “Along with our colleagues at UCP, we’re thrilled Craig Rosenberg, [plus executive producers] Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan and Roxie Rodriguez have partnered with Peacock for what is sure to be a wild ride filled with unexpected twists and turns and lots of humor.”

“There are some true stories that are stranger than fiction as is the case for the events that inspire this show,” added Beatrice Springborn, President, UCP. “It is a twisted, thrilling and incredibly funny series that combines the comic and suspense talents of the dream team of Craig Rosenberg, Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan and Roxie Rodriguez to create the perfect show for Peacock.”
