CBS has announced that it has cancelled Under the Dome, the TV adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name, and the show will finish up its run at the conclusion of the third season on September 10th.
“Two years ago, ‘Under the Dome’ broke new ground in the summer and became an instant hit on CBS, as well as with viewers around the world,” said Nina Tassler, chair of CBS Entertainment. “‘Dome’s’ event storytelling and multiplatform business model paved the way for more original summer programming with the successful rollouts of ‘Extant’ and ‘Zoo.’ We’re excited to present the final chapter in Chester’s Mill as the story comes full circle, with the dome coming down as dramatically as it went up.”
Under the Dome premiered in June 2013 and initially enjoyed stellar ratings, although viewing figures have been on the decline, with season three averaging 4.9 million viewers, down from the first season’s 11.2 million.
