SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about Season 2 ofBased on a True Story.
But it was an interesting challenge being thrown that curveball and having to justify her decisions and her choices.
She definitely took over the role of a big sister for me in my life too.

And I am curious how she will ultimately respond to it, she explained.
I dont know, and its a very nuanced situation, added Liberato.
But she invited that into her life too.

You cant get in bed with a serial killer and not expect to see a death or two.
So, she brought it upon herself a little bit as well.
What was it like adding more layers to the character this year and exploring her further?
LIANA LIBERATO:It was cool.
I should have expected it because thats so this show, were always going off the rails.
But it was an interesting challenge being thrown that curveball and having to justify her decisions and her choices.
There were kind of two things I landed on when I was prepping and working through all of that.
And then also, Ava and Tory, they are cut from the same cloth.
It just kind of manifests in a different way, and thats how she finds herself in the situation.
LIBERATO:Again though, its so funny with this show.
Thats where my mind goes is, Oh, we could utilize Tory in this way.
DEADLINE:Tell me about evolving that sisterly dynamic with Kaley this season.
But if she leans in too hard, Tory will just double down.
So, Im excited for the audience to see that push and pull between the two of them.
She definitely took over the role of a big sister for me in my life too.
DEADLINE:This season becomes very heavy for Tory.
She ultimately kills someone, which I can tell really weighs on her.
Can you tell me about exploring those kind of emotions?
Youd probably see that more in Season 3.
And I am curious how she will ultimately respond to it.
Would she lean on Matt to get through that or would she excommunicate him?
I dont know, and its a very nuanced situation.
But she invited that into her life too.

How do you feel about the genre?
I love true-crime, I find it really interesting.
And Im definitely guilty of that.
