Earlier this summer, Showtime picked up On Becoming a God in Central Florida, a one-hour dark comedy from George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures and Sony’s TriStar Television, that was ordered to series last year by YouTube to debut this year.
Dunst plays Krystal Stubbs, a minimum-wage water park employee who lies, schemes and cons her way up the ranks of a cultish, flag-waving, multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme that drove her to ruin in the first place. Ted Levine plays the leader Obie Garbeau II.
The series is created and executive produced by Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky and produced by Sony’s TriStar Television, and also exec produced Smokehouse Pictures’ George Clooney and Grant Heslov, along with Dunst, Charlie McDowell (who also directed the pilot) and Esta Spalding, who also serves as showrunner.
