'Based on a True Story' Ending Explained: Who Died? How Was Season 3 Set Up?


Season 2 of ‘Based on a True Story’ ended with a shocking death — and an arrest — after a copycat killer took over Matt's reign as the Westside Ripper

The Peacock series, which premiered in 2023, followed fictional couple Ava ( Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan ( Chris Messina) as they teamed up with serial killer Matt ( Tom Bateman) to start a podcast to make money off the true crime trend. Matt — the West Side Ripper — wasn’t thrilled when Ava and Nathan tried to cut ties with him at the end of the season so he dropped Ruby’s ( Priscilla Quintana) dead body on their doorstep. The season ultimately ended with a new dead body after Tory killed Matt’s ex-wife, Olivia ( Melissa Fumero), a.k.a the fellow mom that Ava thought was her new friend.
