Following in the tradition of Only Murders in the Building is Craig Rosenberg’s Based on a True Story, an eight-episode dark comedy thriller about a couple (Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina) who set up their own podcast after realizing they know local Los Angeles serial killer the “West Side Ripper.”
The new series also stars Tom Bateman, Priscilla Quintana, Liana Liberato, Natalia Dyer, Alex Alomar Akpobome, Aisha Alfa, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, and Li Jun Li.
Based on a True Story is available to stream on Peacock from June 8.

Serial killer Levi Bellfield ‘signed confession admitting to brutal murders of Lin Russel & daughter Meghan’
SERIAL killer Levi Bellfield has signed a confession admitting to the hammer murders of Lin and daughter Megan Russell in 1996, it was reported last night.
Lawyers for Michael Stone, 62, who was convicted of the crime, say it contains information only the killer would know.

Although the document has not been given to police, it is being used in Stone’s appeal efforts.
Stone told The Mirror from HMP Frankland: “I’ve been in prison for 26 years for a crime I did not commit.”
Lin, 45, and daughters, Josie, nine, and Megan, six, were tied up and attacked in Chillenden, Kent. Josie survived.
Triple murderer Bellfield, 54, who is serving two whole life orders, claimed responsibility a year ago, then denied it.
Stone’s solicitor Theresa Clark said: “The statement made last year was never signed. He’s subsequently done a written statement which he has signed. He accepts responsibility.”
The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) said the case is under review.
The CCRC, which has been investigating Stone’s conviction since 2017, will decide whether the case should be referred to the Court of Appeal.
Submissions by his defence team since 2017 already included a four-page written confession to the killings by Bellfield from February last year.
But after the confession was publicised he then reportedly denied the attack, prompting claims it could have been part of a sick joke to “mess” with Stone.
Last June it was reported that the CCRC was set to find there was no forensic evidence to connect Bellfield to the crimes, and that evidence had emerged that cast doubt on the credibility of his confession.
Ms Clark said of the signed statement: “This is a new and more detailed one.
“The statement made last year was never signed by him but he’s subsequently done a written statement which he’s signed.”
Stone was arrested a year after Lin and Megan’s murders on unrelated charges, when he is alleged to have confessed to a fellow prisoner in a Canterbury prison.
A CCRC spokesperson said of Stone’s case: “This case is currently under review and no final decision has yet been reached on the application.”
