Who says that all of the murder and mayhem of the Halloween season has to end on October 31st? With a little less than a month to go until all eight episodes of showrunner/writer Annie Weisman's Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina-starring Based on a True Story Season 2 hit Peacock screens, we're getting a good look at what's to come with the release of the official trailer – as well as a new key art poster and image gallery. The second season finds new parents Ava (Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Messina) three months into parenthood. Focused on taking care of her family, Ava is determined to resist her true crime obsession and return to work as a real estate agent while Nathan trains private tennis clients.

But a series of new murders pulls her back in – is Matt (Tom Bateman) behind the slayings? Is Tory (Liana Liberato), now entangled in a relationship with Matt, in danger? For a while, life is good – Ava's TikTok habit and her new friend Drew (Melissa Fumero) provide a welcome distraction, and Nathan's all in on reigniting his tennis career as well as his friendship with Matt – until danger comes knocking, literally. With the Peacock series returning on November 21st, here's a look at the image gallery that was released and a look back at a note of the season from Weisman:

"I first discovered 'Based on a True Story' as a fan of Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina, and I instantly loved the show's addictive blend of dark humor, pulpy action, and relatable characters. In Season 2, we've built on those exciting themes while introducing propulsive new character dynamics and a forward-moving murder mystery," Weisman shared in a letter released with the date announcement and preview images.

Weisman added, "Season 2 opens on Ava and Nathan struggling to balance parenthood with their true crime obsession. Kaley and Chris deliver exceptional performances, bringing depth, authenticity, and comedic chemistry to every moment. Tom Bateman's portrayal of Matt effortlessly shifts between charming and chilling, while Liana Liberato embodies Tory's feisty free spirit. And we're thrilled to welcome Melissa Fumero to the series in a surprising new role. The entire cast excels at balancing humor and heart, creating a deeply funny, unpredictable, and resonant viewing experience. I can't wait for you to join us on this wild ride. Murder Bunnies, assemble!"
