The ratings for season two of Under the Dome took a big dip but supposedly the TV show is still quite profitable for CBS. Will the numbers continue to drop? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned!
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 have to work to survive with limited resources and rising tension. The large cast includes Kylie Bunbury, Eddie Cahill, Colin Ford, Aisha Hinds, Alexander Koch, Rachelle Lefevre, Mackenzie Lintz, Dean Norris, and Mike Vogel.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
8/31 update: CBS has decided to end Under the Dome with the third season.
Final season averages: 0.96 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.70 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Under the Dome TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Under the Dome is a series I love to hate BUT I just can’t give up watching it! I love the characters, but the storyline seems to become more lame by the week. Fingers crossed it improves and is given a final season to bring a decent closure to this story and series.
I think under the dome should definitely give a shot onto a season 4. everybody in the cast works wonderful together on the show & every single season so far has been absolutely wonderful!
They have absolutely gotten so stupid with the story line. They took a good book/first season/storyline and ruined it. Cancel it already. Golden boy was better than this crap and it only got one season.
My husband and I never miss an episode. We completely enjoy it. If you don’t. Just don’t watch, but stop giving bad ratings just for your opinion.
I really don’t know what to make of “Under the Dome” now. It bears no semblance to the book, and where the story goes from here, I have no idea. Do the producers even know, or are they making it up as they go? Will keep watching because I need to find out how the pod people are hopefully defeated, but I can’t see another season. End it logically or not, but just END IT!
Under the dome is awesome!!!…but I want barb to get his old gf back…:(
Renew Under the Dome for a 4th season please!
As much as season 3 confuses me, I still continue to watch it. I’ve been hooked on Under The Dome since season one episode one, and I refuse to give up on it, just because it’s confusing. So I really really really really hope CBS will renew it for a fourth season.
Loved the first two seasons. This one? Nope. This “pod people/invasion of the body snatchers” routine doesn’t fly with me. Personalities and loyalties flip-flopping every other episode… scientists and military personnel coming and going in and out of the dome while Chester Mill citizens stuck inside – crazy lady now running things and the puppets following her… multiple eggs now.. possible power sources, etc.
The show needs to die and end.
Can’t wait for the series to die — it is awful — I keep expecting something to happen and it is like watching paint dry.
This show is a mess. Shame it had so much potential.
I loved the first 2 seasons but I have no clue where they are going with this pod people idea. I hope they turn it around real soon or it will be doomed. SADLY.
this show should be cancelled.. It was painful to watch the new seasons first episode it was all over the place! Bad acting and bad script. And once they made the Fox News comment they lost me for sure! I’m done…
Liked this show when it started and was happy it returned! However with that said I really was bored with the season debut and was starting to get silly! I like the cast and I’m up in the air as to if I will continue to watch! BRING BACK STALKER!!!!
they lost me last night. The pod people thing was a bit too much.
I liked Under The Dome but refuse to watch anymore of it and everyone else should do the same. I also liked Stocker and even thought CBS kept giving its time slot to all the sports events they canceled it without a care for those who were enjoying the series. You souldnt get hooked on Under The Dome because CBS will cancel it in a heart beat not giving you the viewers a care in the world. DONT DO IT!!!
