Kirsten Dunst stars in Showtime’s new 1990’s-set dark comedy series On Becoming A God In Central Florida, along with True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgård.
Set in a small Orlando-adjacent town in 1992, this dark comedy series stars Kirsten Dunst as Krystal Stubbs, a minimum-wage water park employee who lies, schemes and cons her way up the ranks of Founders American Merchandise (FAM) — the cultish, flag-waving, multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme run by the powerful Obie Garbeau II (Ted Levine) that drove her to ruin in the first place.
Determined to make a better life for herself, Krystal dives deep into FAM and develops a tangled relationship with its most loyal and fanatical follower Cody (Théodore Pellerin), until her business begins to affect those closest to her, including Ernie (Mel Rodriguez), her affable water park boss, and his FAM-skeptic wife Bets (Beth Ditto).
The series originally was ordered straight-to-series by YouTube a year ago, however, Showtime picked it up in June 2019.
The series stars Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia), Théodore Pellerin (Genesis), Mel Rodriguez (The Last Man On Earth), Beth Ditto, Ted Levine, Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood), Usman Ally (A Series of Unfortunate Event), and Julie Benz (Dexter).
On Becoming A God In Central Florida premieres August 25th on Showtime.
