Under the Dome TV show cancelled

Under the Dome, based on a novel by Stephen King, won't be renewed after its third season according to a new report

Under the Dome was a 2009 novel by Stephen King which was all about what happened to a small town when it was suddenly trapped inside an enormous, indestructible dome. It was a typically entertaining and shlocky affair from the horror writer, retaining the long-winded nature which has become a part of his writing more and more in recent years.

It never seemed like an ideal candidate for a TV adaptation but one surfaced nonetheless, finally reaching screens in 2013 after a series of developmental delays. With creative input from the likes of Niels Adren Oplev for the first episode and a decent cast including Rachelle Lefevre, Britt Robertson and Dean Norris it was watchable enough, if never really transcending into anything special.
