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 area.
Julia Shumway (Rachelle Lefevre) is the editor of The Independent, the local newspaper. She’s an investigative reporter who recently moved to town recently with her husband, Peter, a doctor at the medical clinic who’s now disappeared.
“Big Jim” Rennie (Dean Norris) is the owner of the region’s largest used car lot. He either commands respect or just buys it. He’s the only elected official left under the dome and his love for Chester’s Mill is surpassed only by his desire for power.
James “Junior” Rennie (Alexander Koch) has spent his life growing up in the shadow of his father. Despite the scholarship he earned to play college football, he’s willing to throw that all away to stay at home with his one real passion, Angie, his date to the junior prom. When Angie rejects him, a hidden side of Junior erupts, just as the dome comes crashing down around Chester’s Mill.
Angie McAlister (Britt Robertson) has had one goal — to leave Chester’s Mill forever. In the meantime, she’s been biding her time working the lunch shift at Sweetbriar Rose and as a candy-striper at the local health clinic. When the dome comes down, she finds herself trapped in a place she never imagined.
Joe McAlister (Colin Ford) is very smart and has an adventurous spirit. He becomes entranced by the dome. His truck-driver father and his mother are both trapped on the other side of the wall, and his older sister, Angie, is missing. Joe may have a connection to the dome that he, and no one else, can quite explain.
Sheriff Duke Perkins (Jeff Fahey) is the stoic face of this town who’s also had a hand in the town’s dirty laundry. For years, he’s mentored Linda Esquivel (Natalie Martinez), a young deputy with a soft smile but a hard edge. She’s trapped under the dome while her fiancé, Rusty Denton, is on the other side.
Norrie Calvert-Hill (Mackenzie Lintz) is a 16-year-old girl who’s en route to a tough-love camp with her parents when the dome comes down. She’s a world away from her home in California, with a town of strangers. Like Joe, she also has a strange connection to the dome.
Norrie’s parents are Alice Calvert (Samantha Mathis) and Carolyn Hill (Aisha Hinds), a pair of strong professionals from California. As they realize that there’s no way out of this strange town, they discover that they already know the other trapped people of better than they ever knew their neighbors back home.
Phil Bushey (Nicholas Strong) is the DJ at Chester’s Mill’s only independent rock station and finds himself in charge of the only radio station able to reach the town. Dodee Weaver (Jolene Purdy) is the station’s brainy engineer, and possesses technical skills unmatched by anyone in the dome, which proves to be a great resource.
Rose Twitchell (Beth Broderick) is the owner of the local diner, Sweetbriar Rose, where everyone seems to gather. Rose keeps the biscuits hot and the coffee fresh, and knows the comings and the goings of the town better than most anyone.
Episode #39 — The Enemy Within
As the Dome in Chester’s Mill comes down, the Resistance makes a final attempt to protect the outside world from the infected townspeople in the Kinship and their new queen.
First aired: September 10, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Under the Dome TV series? Do you think it should end or should have been renewed for a fourth season?
Bring back the dome. Don’t leave us hanging…
this show is great, please finish it.
Bring back the show and finish it at least. Great show. Much better that a lot of shows on TV.
I wish they’d bring back the show and at least finish it. We really liked it.
Why is there always a question if a good series should be renewed? There never seems to be any doubt when it comes to all those stupid “reality” shows! Kardashians, Survivor, does not take any brains to watch such emptiness. Please don’t cancel Under The Dome. There are too few good shows on television that actually make you THINK.
Loved that show. As an adult I would like to see more episodes. You can’t leave people hanging. So many ridiculous shows for the no brainers or teens. We pay the bills. Give us what we want
They always cancel the good shows. There are very few shows on that have a good plot and geared to the adult sector. But they keep shows like Survivor, which encourages everyone to to throw whoever and whatever under the bus for money. Now there’s some values.
So few things worth watching I looked forward everyerrk to watching under the dome. Please don’t cancel BRONG IT BACK
Bring it back. We love it!
please bring it back you left us hanging and wanting more
PLEASE do not cancell Under The Done,
I agree with other posts there are so few things to watch, Under The Dome was an excellent show to watch. We looked forward to each week and what surprise was going to happen.
Pleas bring it back!!!!
I am soooo irritated with the people who decide what goes on TV these days. Under The Dome is one of the few shows worth watching and some body out there will try to replace it with another group of animation junk (and I’m not talking about kid’s cartoons), broke girls, dysfunctional family situations, and all the other shows that a moronic monkey could write (namely those that seem to fulfill the imagination of a fifteen year old boy in heat and angry at his parents). Bring back this show!!!!! Stop the idiocy!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show. It’s one of the few shows left on TV that is worth watching.
This show is so different from most of the trash on TV now . Get rid of those ridiculous reality shows.
I really enjoy watching this show. But I never know when it comes back on. Please keep this show. There are not very many good shows to watch anymore. Can you show some of the previous episodes? I don’t understand why these new shows are going so long between seasons and not showing re-runs. Not good. We the people want re-runs while waiting on the next season to start.
There is so much crap n TV these days, please DO NOT cancel Under The Dome. It is really a fantastic ongoing drama, the storyline is unique & compelling, and all the characters are great. Please don’t let this one slip into oblivion, when we need some good TV programs on the air to counteract the mindless reality shows that seem to dominate the airwaves. Please bring back this show!!!!!!
