Showtime has dropped the trailer for its new dark comedy series, On Becoming A God In Central Florida, starring Kirsten Dunst. The series was originally given a straight to series order by YouTube a year ago but Showtime picked it up in a turnaround last month.
Here is the official logline from Showtime:
Krystal Stubbs (Dunst) is 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 cast also includes Usman Ally, Julie Benz, Melissa De Sousa, John Earl Jelks, Sharon Lawrence, Josh Fadem, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Alexander Skarsgård and Mary Steenburgen. The show is created and executive produced by Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky.
On Becoming A God In Central Florida premieres on August 25. Check out the official poster below:
