“We were immediately drawn to this stylish and subversive female empowerment story starring Kirsten Dunst as you’ve never seen her before,” Gary Levine, co-president of entertainment for Showtime said. “Throw in clever writing, inventive filmmaking, a strong, diverse ensemble and some alligators, and we’re confident Showtime audiences will find ‘On Becoming a God’ irresistible!”

The show was developed by AMC then handed off to stream on YoutTube before Showtime finally picked it up. “We have to find a new home,” Kirsten told Entertainment Weekly back in 2017 before the show began filming. “It’s being put together. It’s so good and everyone just needs to make it happen now!”
