On Becoming a God in Central Florida was cancelled
In 2019, Kirsten Dunst made a return to our TV screens in a big way, when she was cast in the leading role in Showtime's "On Becoming a God in Central Florida." In the dark comedy, Dunst plays Krystal Stubbs, a water park employee in Orlando trying to escape her minimum-wage existence. Not only does she join a multi-level marketing scheme, but she climbs its ranks, driven by revenge after her family is destroyed by the multi-billion-dollar corporation. The show received favorable reviews, and Dunst earned herself a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.
In September 2019, "On Becoming a God in Central Florida" was renewed for a second season, via Deadline. However, filming of season 2 was forced to pause in March 2020 on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the show sadly never resumed production. As Deadline reported in October 2020, Showtime announced its decision to cancel the series. In a statement, the network explained, "[A]lthough we have made every effort to reunite the cast and crew for a second season, that has become untenable. It is with great regret that we are acknowledging On Becoming a God will not return." They also noted, "We extend our deepest thanks to star and executive producer Kirsten Dunst." Sadly, the "Melancholia" star's big return to TV was cut short, and fans never got to continue Krystal's story.
