Kirsten Dunst is out for revenge, casting a dark cloud over the Sunshine State in the first official trailer for Showtime’s 10-episode comedy On Becoming a God in Central Florida, premiering Sunday, Aug. 25 (10/9c).

Per Showtime’s official synopsis, the 1992-set series “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 (Ted Levine). Determined to make a better life for herself, Krystal dives deep into FAM and develops a tangled relationship with FAM’s most loyal and fanatical follower Cody (Theodore 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).”
