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.

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?
I lost interested in this show the third season, they mess it up, it is no where close to the book any more. It needs to go to the dump.
I am really enjoying Under the Dome and hope it continues a few more seasons even if they are no longer “under the dome”.
i think it should be cancelled it is boring
Who does McKenzie lintz know to stay on the program, she is terrible ,actor ,just saying
Angie shou!d come back and norie ( a terrible actor should be
And I thought it was over ? What a waste!!
this season is terrible. I have been watching since the first day. But this season is very disappointing especially Julia and Barbie story line!
End as soon as you can , I has gone on longer than it can remain interesting.
Really alien takeover ha, ha
SUCKS!!! The only similarities between the book and this show is the name of the town, and the fact that there’s a dome sealing it. How is it possible that this show continues???
I LOVE UNDER THE DOME! NEVER KNOW WHAT’S COMING!!!!!! LET’S KEEP IT GOING
No, just make it go away. I don’t even need closure anymore. The show makes no sense, and the acting is the pits. We’re just gonna take it off our series recording schedule.
Cancel this train wreck please. Writing is stupid, acting worse. How it lasted this long is only due to people tuning in to see sruff like bandaged jeans or jumping into the water to save someone when the boat you just got out of is right there. Please make it stop.
I used to love this show – it made me look forward to Mondays. This season sucks! Last season should have been the LAST season.
I agree. However, last season needed closure. They could have ended it somehow last season, even if it meant letting the show stay on for a longer run. It’s just being dragged out and there’s no suspense in it anymore. It doesn’t help when they wait so long in between seasons, either. If this show doesn’t close the purpose of it this season, then we will be left hanging, because I don’t see people wanting to watch another season, me included.
I agree with S.S. and Tracie. It needs to go away, but it needs to go away with some closure. It was supposed to be one season, and Season One wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, there was no closure, so it got dragged into a second season. The purpose of Season Two should have been to give closure to Season One. Since we were stuck without closure, people asked for Season Three so we wouldn’t be up a tree without a ladder. Season Two was inferior to Season One, and Season Three has extended the insanity, with no end in sight.… Read more »
I love this show. Please don’t cancel it.
no please make it go away…it was to be a 3 part show….
really Hokey
I cannot believe Stephen King is really OK with this
This show took a turn for the worst. Should have kept it a one season show.
