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.
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 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.
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.
Final season averages: 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.17 million total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Under the Dome averaged a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.21 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Under the Dome TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season three?
UPDATE: Now that the season’s over, how has the show performed?
Please cancel this dreadful soap opera! I only watch about 5 minutes fast forwarding with my DVR to the important (Hah!) parts. This is a boring, mundane soap opera, which, once you edit out the useless drivel, leaves only 5 minutes of interest.
Surely, Mr. King envisioned something entirely different!
Nelson, if you hate this show so bad, WHY are you watching it? I doubt someone is holding a gun to your head. And I’m sure there are other shows you can be watching or chores you can be doing, so leave your hateful comments and go do them. In the meantime, those of us who enjoy the show are asking for another season which, again, you do not need to even start watching. Maybe something like Big Bang Theory would be up your alley.
The post asks readers to share their feedback on the show — both positive and negative, not just positive.
admin, I understand that all views are welcome BUT when someone admits that they only watch 5 minutes of a show and then post feedback it is questionable. If I skimmed thru A Tale of Two Cities in a few minutes and then posted a review it would have no value. And I am not saying Under the Dome is A Tale of Two Cities. . Personally, I am a huge King fan and this series falls way short of my expectations but I do actually watch the series. One thing I found interesting was the season 1 recap prior… Read more »
It takes some people five minutes (or less) to know a show isn’t for them. It takes longer for some people to make up their minds. We all make up our minds about shows without even watching them. All reasonable comments are welcome as they add to the discussion. Thanks for taking part! 🙂
Renew!!!!! Deffintely!
Great show!!!!!! I watch it every week. Keeps you very interested and waiting for the next episode. Hope there is a Season 3. 🙂
Personally, I wish they had done ‘Under the Dome’ as a miniseries instead of a weekly show. To me, and many of my friends, the “cliffhanger of the week” strategy is starting to wear a bit thin. And resurrecting the dead smacks of running out of story ideas, or trying to appease fans who’s favorite character got killed off.
I agree that resurrecting the dead is defeating the earlier statements made that this year they are going to lose a lot of people. They haven’t lost anyone except that black guy who was a radio announcer. Everyone else returned. Let’s get the show on the road and start the chaos (if that’s what is coming) but don’t forget to do another season if the show ends with a cliffhanger. DO NOT DO WHAT THEY DID WITH “INVASION” That was terrible, cancelling the show with a cliffhanger. I will never forgive Fox station for doing that.
Love the show and plot!!
When do you think we will find out if there will be a 3rd Season or not? I really like this show. I love Haven aswell. these sort of shows I really enjoy.
I love this show and want to see a Season 3, otherwise the ending is going to be like “Invasion”. I was really into that show, they had a cliffhanger at the end, and then cancelled the show so we never did find out what happened to that guy’s wife who got thrown in the water. That was a rip-off to everyone watching.
On that note, dont’ do that to this show, please have a 3rd season so it can be ended on a good note.
Best show ever. Definitely should be a season 3. How can they end it with everyone under the dome and not tell us why.
Last night I watched Monday’s episode & whilst I enjoy shows like this (Extant – could make it another year, but it got the axe. How much can you drag out a story? The Mentalist’s Red John for example) I feel let’s be done with this already.
Please give us 1 more season. So the writers can wrap up the show the right way.
I love the show.
Me, too! I hope it gets another season!
I think it should be renewed. They have already proven they can continue to add to the story line in just about any way. Its a great cast with an interesting story line. It makes me look forward to summer TV AND monday nights!
Something’s really need to come to an end before they wear themselves out. I am an avid watcher of Under the Dome and I just don’t want it to get lost and go out like a lot of other shows do. The plot gets lost and it goes off in 10 million directions and it no longer makes sense. I would rather go out as a winner and have the audience remember something good and not have it become just another series that got cancelled. There is nothing wrong with having a great ending to a series. Another season; maybe.… Read more »
I think it should be renewed. I like the series very much even if the series includes effects of The Dark Tower and The Stand which are the other books of Stephen King. I am a big fan of Stephen King’s books and I always watch movies, series from his books.
