Season 3 AI Speculation:
Get ready, podcast fans! The burning question on everyone's mind after that killer season 2 cliffhanger is: when will we see more of Ava and Nathan's deadly escapades? While the suspense is palpable, Peacock has not yet officially renewed Based On A True Story for a third season. The cast and creators are incredibly eager to continue the story, but as of right now, we are all waiting for the official green light. So, what does this mean for a potential air date? Industry experts and fans are buzzing with speculation! Given the show's popularity and that shocking finale, a renewal feels inevitable. If Peacock announces a new season soon, production would likely begin later this year. Following that timeline, a hopeful and speculative best-case scenario would place the premiere of season 3 sometime in mid-to-late 2025. It's all just speculation for now, but the anticipation is part of the fun! Don't let the official announcement pass you by! The moment Peacock drops the real release date, you’ll want to know.
