'Dirty John': The true story behind upcoming Bravo show starring Connie Britton and Eric Bana

You probably know 'Dirty John', Bravo's upcoming TV show, is an adaptation of a famous podcast, but did you know the real story behind it?

If there is one thing Bravo gets right every single time, it is drama. After the popularity of 'The Real Housewives' franchise, the network is back with another dramatic tale of relationships gone awry - only this time, it is much closer to the truth. Bravo's podcast turned TV show 'Dirty John' that premieres next week is based on the life of John Meehan, a conman who caught the eye of Los Angeles Times reporter Christopher Goffard. Captivated by his story, he decided to turn the investigation into a podcast and the rest is history.
