On Becoming a God in Central Florida

On Becoming a God in Central Florida is a dark comedy set in a small town in the early 90s. Starring Kirsten Dunst, the story follows a waterpark minimum wage employee who lies, cheats and cons her way up the company’s corporate ladder. Unfortunately, her actions impact not only her career but also her family.

Showtime recently cancelled the second season of “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” after initially renewing the show for a third season in September. Despite a potential Golden Globe nomination for Dunstan, Showtime decided to scrap the series, citing a COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the cancellation. The series’ cancellation is a blow for fans, but it is not a knock on the show’s creative team or cast.

The cancellation comes in the wake of the recent pandemic, which killed more than 3,000 people. The resulting coronavirus outbreak halted filming for the second season and prompted Showtime to reconsider its decision.
