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?
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.
Last year, the show started strong but lost a lot of steam over the course of the season. It ended up averaging a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.21 million viewers.
Season two has seen a big decline in the ratings. It’s dropped 41% in the demo to a 1.6 rating and dropped 36% in viewership, to 7.14 million. On the positive side, it’s still the network’s highest-rated scripted series of the summer.
Last summer, CBS President and CEO Les Moonves noted that, because of deals with Amazon and overseas distributors, Under the Dome was profitable for the corporation even before the series had even premiered.
Recently Moonves told investors that, even though the show’s ratings are way down, it is still profitable — generating $2.5 million per episode before they air.
Based on this information, it sounds very likely that Under the Dome will return for a third season next summer. If they plan to end it, hopefully they’ll close the story properly.
But, what do you think? Should Under the Dome be renewed for a third season or should it be cancelled? How long should this series run?
10/9 update: CBS has renewed Under the Dome for a third season.
they should totally keep the show going!
Please keep this show going because I found it interesting and fascinating, I want to see how and what it ends like at the end, so please renew it to season 3.
Should have stuck to the book and made it a mini series……I stopped season one when it became clear that other than the title and characters…..It wasn’t the same story……I don’t know how they adress it in the story, but it is a dome so that does mean there’s a limited amount of oxygen….Yet the beat goes on…..
the dome has its own eco system. What i mean is that the trees produce oxygen, the clouds in the dome, cause it to rain, and the plants grow from the sun. so yes, it is possible for the beat to go on.
they will cancel it because it is science fiction. and its pretty good. and no one watches.
They wont cancel it cause we all love it.
I vote to renew it , I like the show and would like to know what the dome is all about and where it came from .
I like Under the Dome. It is a great show.
I am addicted! Please please please keep it going!
please you can not leave us hanging we love the show and can not wait to see more thank=you
Please bring it back for season 3 I love this show so please bring it back if you dont I swear I wont never watch your station ever ever again so bring it back please.
Keep it going at least one more season
To enf it right
my family love the show
Nope! No Way! No Thanks! Cancel Under The Dome Here & Now! This show is clearly the dumbest most stupid TV Show in the entire history of TV!
The Dome started out with great promise but in the second season, the story lines just keep getting weirder and drawn out. Once again, a fantastic novel by Stephen King has been made for television and has disappointed many. End it with two more episodes and put us out of our misery. Thanks.
come on you can’t just end it we want a season 3-4-5-6–7 and on and on season 3 they all get out everyone alive and the dome moves to the next town and start all over with the goverment in the dome and barbie’s dad and all that whated to reserch it or i don’t know they have to think of something to keep it going
They should have one more show where the residents end up outside the dome. Then, show as Big Jim getting crushed as the dome runs out of power. If they renew it, they could make it a sitcom where the residents end up in a Chester’s Mill, Mississippi, complete with a new dome and with a neo-secessionist Big Jim.
This show was fun to watch exactly because it was so bad. It was an unintended comedy. A comedy with a Chester’s Mill MS could in fact be a comedy showcasing how backward the South is.
Actually, this was intended to take place in Bridgton, Maine, not Mississippi. The filming was done in North Carolina.
Please I love under the doom please keep it going to the 3rd season I want to see how it ends up with I want to see wants on the ather end of that wall please I’m begging you keep it going.
KEEP IT GOING !!!!!!!
End this madness now. The book has been completely distorted. The writing is abominable. The acting is horrendous. The directing is terrible. Stephen King should take his name off this. Just drop it already.
If you dont want to watch it then dont but there is alot of us that wants it to come back we want to see it yo u have the choices not to watch it if you dont like it bit dont ruin it for the rest of us that does want to see it come back.
