US drama On Becoming a God in Central Florida is the latest victim of the pandemic cancellation wave.
The show was originally renewed for Season 2 last September, but Showtime has now reversed that decision in light of the pandemic.
“Last year, Showtime renewed On Becoming a God in Central Florida but unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we were unable to move forward with production on the new season,” Showtime said in a statement.
“The pandemic has continued to challenge schedules across the board, and although 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. We extend our deepest thanks to star and executive producer Kirsten Dunst, creators Robert Funke and Matt Lusky, showrunner Esta Spalding and their fellow executive producers George Clooney, Grant Heslov and Charlie McDowell, the terrific cast and crew, and our partners at Sony Pictures Television.”
The show screened in Australia on SBS.

At least the ending tied up most of the plot points but I would have loved to see more stories with these characters.
Me and Showtime are still not on speaking terms over the whole Ray Donovan treatment. This doesn’t help our fractured relationship
Sad its not coming back.. It was a fun watch in a dark weird way.
Yes, it was bizarre and twisted with lots of dark humour. Fascinating to watch and the two leads were brilliant. A real shame OBAGICF won’ t be returning.
Disappointing news as I found the show entertaining with a nice point of difference.
