TV show description:

This TV series is based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King and revolves around the people of Chester's Mill, a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by a massive transparent dome. They include:

An Army veteran, Dale "Barbie“ Barbara (Mike Vogel) is a handsome and enigmatic traveler who was passing through Chester's Mill when the dome came down. He has a mysterious past that includes the reason why he was in the...

Those poor people of Chester's Mill aren't getting out just yet. CBS has renewed their Under the Dome TV show for a third season. It's expected that the new episodes will run next summer and that there will be 13 installments once again.

Under the Dome revolves around residents of Chester's Mill in Maine after a large transparent dome cuts them off from the world. Those on the inside must work to survive with limited resources and rising tension. The large cast includes Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Nicholas Strong, Colin Ford, Mackenzie Lintz, Jolene Purdy, Aisha Hinds, Dean Norris, Eddie Cahill, and Karla Crome.

Though the ratings for season two dropped quite a bit, Under the Dome remained CBS' top-rated scripted series of the summer and remains profitable for the network, mostly because of deals with Amazon and...

Last summer, Under the Dome was a big success for CBS. How will season two do in the ratings? Will this Stephen King TV show be renewed for a third season or will it be cancelled instead? Time will tell.

Last year, Under the Dome was quickly renewed for another season on CBS. No such luck this time around. Will it be renewed for a third season or will the series be cancelled instead?

Season two has seen a big decline in...

Season one of the CBS TV series Under the Dome, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name, ended on a very tense, throat-tightening note. Its return this summer, then, will likely sate the appetites of viewers who have been hungry for more misadventures in Chester’s Mill. We previously reported that Stephen King would write the premiere episode of the second season, and it looks like the show’s body-dropping drama will be back in full force.

In addition to writing the second season’s premiere episode, it’s likely that Stephen King will drop by the Sweetbriar Rose diner for a coffee cup cameo. The second season of Under the Dome premieres Monday, June 30 (10:00 – 11:00 Pm, Et/Pt) on CBS:

“Under The Dome tells the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome.

It’s been months and months since we bade a temporary farewell to our new summer friends, the ones caught Under the Dome at ABC. You may have even forgotten a little about where we left off. Well no worries, kids, because today the good people at ABC have dropped the first Season 2 trailer upon us to give a couple of reminders and a lot to which we will now look forward:

Trailer: Under the Dome – Season 2 Preview

Under the Dome Season 2, starring Mike Vogel, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Eddie Cahill, Karla Crome, Colin Ford, and Nicholas Strong, premieres on Monday, June 30 at 10/9c on CBS.

Season 1 of CBS‘s Under the Dome was chock full of twists and mysteries and reveals, although not the one we want the most. But do we? Do we want to know the how and why of the dome? Nah, bring on another season! And please add in even more of the creepy weird inexplicable elements.

And here’s someone who knows a thing or two about that. Stephen King himself has written the premiere episode of Season 2, and apparently no one is safe:

Featurette: Under the Dome – Season 2: Start of Production

CBS’S Hit Summer Series “Under The Dome” Begins Production On Season Two Today In Wilmington, N.C. Premiere Episode Written by Bestselling Author and Executive Producer Stephen King

CBS had their TCA appointment today, and they delivered a nice little gift to us: confirmation that Stephen King will be writing the Season 2 premiere of Under the Dome, and premiere dates for both that series and for its Amblin stablemate Extant.

Although many had speculated that the two would be airing as a sci-fi block, that is apparently not the case. That’s okay, spread out the sci-fi love, who knows who might be unsuspectingly snared!

Here are the deets:

CBS Announces Premiere Dates For Summer Series “Under The Dome” And “Extant” “Under the Dome” Returns Monday, June 30, 10:00 Pm With the Premiere Episode Written by Stephen King “Extant,” Starring Academy Award Winner Halle Berry, Premieres Wednesday, July 2, 9:00 Pm

CBS today announced premiere dates for its two scripted summer event series—Under The Dome and Extant, both produced by Steven Spielberg‘s Amblin Television.

Under The Dome returns...

Chicago – Another week of a hodge podge of new Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming releases that we call What to Watch. Looking for something new? Something very old? Something rare? Something from TV? There’s a little bit of everything and even a story about porn too. Check it out, ranked in how interesting I find them.

Intolerance

“Intolerance”

“Intolerance” would be a massive, amazing undertaking in 2013. Can you even put in perspective what it was like 100 years ago? Arguably one of the most important and influential silent films ever made, “Intolerance” runs almost three hours and covers centuries of storytelling. It’s a fascinating film both in the history of cinema and the way it addressed cultural concerns of the time. Cohen Media Group continues to expertly restore and highlight great films. They’re quickly rising the ranks of the most important Blu-ray studios working today.

After airing on CBS this summer, the first season of Under the Dome will be released to Blu-ray and DVD on November 5th. We have new details on bonus features and the limited edition dome case:

“Under The Dome, a new 13-episode serialized drama based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel, is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers about the dome, where it came from and if and when it will go away.”

The cast includes Mike Vogel (Dale “Barbie” Barbara), Rachelle Lefevre (Julia Shumway), Dean Norris (James “Big Jim” Rennie), Natalie Martinez (Deputy Linda), Britt Robertson (Angie), Alex Koch (Junior), Colin Ford (Joe), Nicholas Strong (Phil Bushey), Jolene Purdy (Dodee), and Aisha Hinds (Carolyn Hill).

On Under the Dome, the residents of a small town are cut off from the rest of the country. CBS is hoping that the country will be tuning in for this summer series. Will it be cancelled or renewed? We'll have to watch the ratings...

Under the Dome airs on Monday nights and there are 13 episodes. The cast includes Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Alexander Koch, Britt Robertson, Colin Ford, Jeff Fahey, Natalie Martinez, Mackenzie Lintz, Samantha Mathis, Aisha Hinds, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy, and Beth Broderick.

Below are the TV show's ratings for the Summer 2013 season. These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so keep checking back to see how things are going.

Final season averages: 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.21 million total viewers.

Episode 01-13: Monday, 09/17/13...

All right, Under the Dome, bring it. You’ve promised us a giant cliffhanger plus some character “closure” in this season finale so let’s see what you’ve got. Barbie. Big Jim. Julia. Sheriff Linda. And the kids, Joe and Norrie, Angie and Junior. Will they all survive? Will we know by the end of the episode?

Sure we know you’ll be back next summer, hopefully paired up with another Steven Spielberg-produced sci-fi series, Extant. Of course we’re looking forward to next summer. But right now, we need some temporary closure. We are So Ready.

For finale prep, we have a neat little video made by Joe and Norrie while in jail, then the very cool-looking TV spot with little glimpses of what’s in store for us tonight.

Clip: Under the Dome – Joe and Norrie Sound Off

TV Spot: Under the Dome – Curtains

Under the Dome,...

The signs are everywhere; Summer 2013 is winding down. The good and bad news about that is we can expect number 1 summer show Under the Dome to really crank up tonight before next week’s season finale.

Although the series has been renewed for a second season, remember that during the Comic-Con panel, showrunner Brian K. Vaughan promised we’ll find out the answers about “all the people up here” – meaning ostensibly Mike Vogel (“Barbie”), Dean Norris (“Big Jim”) and Rachelle Lefevre (“Julia”) but that they’ll hold a few secrets about the dome. I’m hoping for an anthology-type format, where next season’s characters are all different. It’s been hinted, but not promised.

We’ll have a better idea after tonight’s penultimate Season 1 episode, “Exigent Circumstances”. We were left dangling over quite a few cliffs at the end of last week’s episode: Is Barbie the Monarch,...

So… who do we think has the fourth hand? If you don’t know what I’m talking about then you didn’t watch last week’s Under the Dome, or worse – you haven’t been watching the show at all! It’s a great show, and it’s been renewed for a second season, so go ahead and jump in.

In fact, you can watch all of the episodes online now at cbs.com, so do it. Do it now. We’ll still be here when you get back.

Okay, all caught up? Here’s a reminder of the very interesting scene that ended last week’s episode:

Clip: Under the Dome – The Missing Hand

Oh how we love the creepy. So, like I said up at the top, who do we think has the fourth hand? See if you can pick out any hints from the TV spot below,...

My favorite aspect of Under the Dome, and really of any show that features it, is the creepiness factor. I love creepy. Under the Dome offers an interesting look at what can happen to people in a captive environment, and features some great performances, but really it’s weirdness of the dome that rings my geeky bell.

Happily, we’re gonna get that this week, according to the TV spot and clip:

The longer Chester’s Mill sits Under the Dome, the less pleasant things become. They’re having their own private little dystopia, with a side of mystery and creepiness, all for our viewing enjoyment. Thank you, Stephen King, Brian K. Vaughan, and CBS. To get us ready for the latest problems, we have a TV spot and clip from tonight’s new episode, “Thicker Than Water”:

And those tables just keep on turning…

Under the Dome, starring Mike Vogel, Dean Norris, Natalie Martinez, Jolene Purdy, Aisha Hinds, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Colin Ford, and Nicholas Strong, airs Mondays at 10/9c on CBS.

Tonight marks the start of the second half of the first season of the terrific Under the Dome, and they are not holding back. I love that this series gives us a new reveal every week. A new “but what about this?” that gets asked and addressed, and sometimes answered. Last week it was “What about water? Crowd frenzy?” Answered, and addressed.

According to the clip below, this week we’ll also get a cool new mystery. Check that out, after watching the fun featurette that asks the cast how they’d react if they were in their characters’ situations, and a nice little YouTube video ostensibly made by teen Joe. Then there’s the TV spot for tonight’s episode, and that intriguing clip:

We're at the halfway point of "Under the Dome," and while it's getting a bit more soap opera-ish every week, we're still hanging in there, as are millions of others. Here are last night's preliminary ratings results and a look at next week's Episode 1.07, "Imperfect Circles."

Once again, "Under The Dome" was Monday's dominant program in viewers, adults 18-49,, and adults 25-54, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for July 29. At 10Pm "Under The Dome" was first in viewers (11.08m), adults 25-54 (3.7/09), and adults 18-49 (2.7/08). "Under The Dome" was the night's #1 broadcast in viewers, adults 25-54, and adults 18-49. "Under The Dome" beat NBC and ABC combined in viewers (vs. 6.15m, +80%), adults 25-54 (vs. 2.4/06, +54%), and adults 18-49 (vs. 2.0/06, +35%) and averaged 3.3 million viewers more than the night's closest competitor ("The Bachelorette").

"Under the Dome" Episode 1.07 - "Imperfect Circles" (airs 8/5/13)

Big Jim (Dean Norris) takes action when he feels his authority is being threatened,...

During the Comic-Con panel for Under the Dome, showrunner Brian K. Vaughan warned that Season 1 “ends with a helluva a cliffhanger, so if we’re not lucky enough to get a ‘next season,’ you guys are just screwed.” Yikes. Well fortunately, that isn’t the case, as CBS today confirmed that it has picked up the show for another season.

We warned you recently that this might be the case, that the show that was marketed at least half-heartedly as a limited series might not actually be a limited series. But wait. American Horror Story is considered a limited series and a continuing series at the same time. And earlier in the panel Vaughan states that we’ll find out the answers about “all the people up here” – meaning ostensibly Mike Vogel (“Barbie”), Dean Norris (“Big Jim”) and Rachelle Lefevre (“Julia”) but that they’ll hold a few secrets about the dome.

With the town's water supply dwindling, it's Big Jim (Dean Norris) to the rescue in this clip from Monday night's Episode 1.06 of "Under the Dome," entitled "The Endless Thirst."

The 13-episode summer series on CBS stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Colin Ford, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy, Ned Bellamy, Natalie Zea, and Aisha Hinds.

"Under the Dome" Episode 1.06 - "The Endless Thirst" (airs 7/29/13)

When the town begins to run low on water, the residents of Chester’s Mill begin to fight for the remaining resources. Meanwhile, Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) discovers a strange connection that two of the town’s residents have with the Dome.

A new guest star has been announced for "Under the Dome," and along with that info we have a graphic that explains "The Rules" of what life is now like for the residents of Chester's Mill.

Per TV Guide, Mare Winningham will appear in at least one episode slated for late August. She will play Agatha, a seemingly warm woman acting as a caretaker for a house. She'll even welcome Big Jim (Dean Norris) into the home, but we'll learn that her intentions are anything but sincere as we discover her ties to the town.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Mare Winningham on 'Under the Dome'," said executive producer Neal Baer. "She's my good-luck charm: I worked with her on 'ER' as well as on 'Law & Order: Svu' (for which she was Emmy-nominated as Best Guest Actress). She brings truth and believability to every role,...

Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, the CBS drama series Under the Dome is about the small town of Chester’s Mill, which is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by a massive transparent and indestructible dome. Separated from friends and loved ones, and with resources dwindling, the residents will have to learn how to get along and survive. Produced in association with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, the show stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Colin Ford, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy and Aisha Hinds. During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Alexander Koch (who plays Big Jim’s son, James “Junior” Rennie) talked about how Under the Dome was his first TV pilot audition, how daunting it was to get involved with a show that has such a high caliber of talent, being a Stephen King fan,...

CBS seems to have a hit on its hands with the thriller "Under the Dome," and one of the stars of the show, Jolene Purdy, recently sat down with Dread Central to talk all about this exciting new series.

Genre fans will certainly remember Purdy from her work in the memorable film Donnie Darko, in which she played Cherita Chen. Purdy talked about her past, leading up to this great new role. "When I was younger, I started doing musical theater around second grade, and I just grew up loving musical theater," Purdy said.

"Then I had an audition for Donnie Darko, and it kind of opened my eyes to what it's like to not necessarily work in chronological order like a play on stage, focusing on story and character. And I've just chugged away at it ever since. Now I've gotten this great opportunity, and it's been amazing."

And...

If you caught last Monday night’s terrific series premiere of Under the Dome, you were not alone; all reports indicate that it had a boffo opening night. It was a great set-up episode, with several storylines given their initial push into this very interesting scenario. I am totally in.

As is normally the case when a writer's book is adapted in any fashion, there are always changes to be made to the plot, the characters, etc. This usually infuriates some of these fans, and such is the case with CBS' "Under the Dome."

Today Stephen King took to his site to speak to fans about changes to his tale.

"For those of you out there in Constant Reader Land who are feeling miffed because the TV version of Under the Dome varies considerably from the book version, here’s a little story.

Near the end of his life, and long after his greatest novels were written, James M. Cain agreed to be interviewed by a student reporter who covered culture and the arts for his college newspaper. This young man began his time with Cain by bemoaning how Hollywood had changed books such as The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity.

Under the Dome kicked off this week and there are still 12 more episodes to go.  Today, however, some details and package artwork for the Under the Dome Blu-ray collector's edition have leaked out via Amazon.

The set is, appropriately, collected in a representation of Chester's Mill encased in a clear dome with a bloody hand print on it.  

Get a peek inside.  No release date has been set.

Written by Brian K. Vaughan, this series stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Jolene Purdy, Nicholas Strong, Britt Robertson, Aisha Hinds, Alex Koch, Natalie Martinez and Colin Ford.

Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, the CBS drama series Under the Dome is about the small town of Chester’s Mill, which is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by a massive transparent and indestructible dome. Separated from friends and loved ones, and with resources dwindling, the residents will have to learn how to get along and survive. Produced in association with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, the show stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Colin Ford, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy and Aisha Hinds. During this recent interview to promote the show’s premiere, executive producers Neal Baer (who is also the showrunner) and Brian K. Vaughan (who is also one of the writers) talked about how the show became what it is now, using the source material as inspiration, how much of an arc will...

It's Monday, April 15, and cast, crew and a contingent of press are inside of a soundstage in Wilmington, N.C., watching a tense scene destined for the CBS summer event series, the 13-episode adaptation of the Stephen King novel, "Under the Dome."

Premiering Monday, June 24, it chronicles the events in the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine, when a transparent dome suddenly appears over it, putting every living thing there in utter isolation.

The large cast includes Mike Vogel ("Pan Am," "Bates Motel") as Dale "Barbie" Barbara, an Army veteran in town on a mysterious mission; Rachelle Lefevre as investigative reporter Julia Shumway, whose husband is suddenly nowhere to be found; Ned Bellamy as the Rev. Lester Coggins; Dean Norris as "Big Jim" Rennie, a politician and town bigwig; Alexander Koch as Junior, his disturbed son; Britt Robertson as Angie McAlister, a sharp-witted young woman involved with Junior; and Jeff Fahey...

Chicago – Stephen King’s “Under the Dome” would have likely been a standard mini-series back in the day when such a thing happened on the networks in iterations like “It,” “The Stand,” and “Storm of the Century.” In a time when network mini-series are a lost form, CBS has taken the daring move of turning King’s book into a fully-formed, 13-episode Summer series, with the door apparently open for more beyond this initial arc.

Television Rating: 3.5/5.0

Will “Under the Dome” catch on with audiences looking for a warm weather alternative? I hate to say it but I don’t really know. There’s enough to like about the first episode but it was the only one sent for review and this is the kind of production that could fall into goofy plotting and silly dialogue soon. For now, I’m engaged, and more so then I thought I would...

What does the world do when the dome comes down? It’s the question everyone will be asking with the premiere of the new CBS drama Under The Dome, based on the Stephen King book. Depending on whether one is trapped under the dome or inside of it, everyone has a different reaction; some will freak out, some will stare with wonder, some will contemplate their mortal existence. But for one extraordinary woman, she will see it as a puzzle and it will lead her to a fascinating discovery. In an exclusive interview, star Jolene Purdy talked about how her character Dodee Weaver becomes the most valuable person under the dome.

So what drew you to Under The Dome and the role of Dodee?

Jolene: I get really scared about sci-fi/horror stuff. My imagination goes crazy. So this was something completely out of my comfort zone. But at the...
