Showtime has given a second series order for Kirsten Dunst lead dark-comedy series " On Becoming a God in Central Florida." The nine-episode series is enjoying a good run on the television, with Dunst churning out another great performance.
`With such imaginative storytelling and an absolutely inspired lead performance, On Becoming a God in Central Florida has been a revelation,` Showtime's co-president of entertainment Jana Winograde said Thursday in a statement. `Kirsten, Esta, Robert, Matt, and Charlie have crafted a wondrous blend of satirical light within the economic and emotional melancholy that confronts so many Americans. We couldn't be happier that On Becoming a God is on Showtime, nor more eager to see what wild events await our ensemble in the downline of season two.`
Created by Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky, the show stars Kirsten Dunst, Theodore Pellerin, Mel Rodriguez, Beth Ditto, Ted Levine, and Alexander Skatsgård
Set in a small Orlando, Florida-adjacent town in 1992, On Becoming a God follows Krystal Stubbs (Dunst), 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 that drove her to ruin in the first place, run by the powerful Obie Garbeau II.
