Lakeshore Records is set to release Based On A True Story—Original Series Soundtrack on July 14, with music composed by Sherri Chung (Riverdale). Chung masterfully weaves a vivid backdrop with strings and percussion to the dark comedy that accents the comedy and horror. We’re pleased to premiere the debut track, “The Credits” below. Says Chung: “Writing the score for ‘Based On A True Story’ was as thrilling a ride as the show itself. The score, like the story, is a cross between hilarious and horrifying–striking that tonal balance musically was an awesome challenge.”
A prolific composer, Chung made history in 2022 when she was elected as the first female governor of the Television Academy’s music branch.
The Peacock original series stars Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina and is streaming now.
