The third and final season of Under the Dome, an American science fiction mystery drama television series, premiered on CBS on June 25, 2015,[1] and ended on September 10, 2015.[2]
Based on the novel of the same name written by Stephen King, Under the Dome tells the story of the residents of the fictional small town of Chester's Mill, when a massive, transparent, indestructible dome suddenly cuts them off from the rest of the world. Military forces, the government, and the media positioned outside the barrier attempt to break it down, while the residents trapped inside must find their own ways to survive with diminishing resources and rising tensions. A small group of people inside the dome must also unravel complicated mysteries in order to figure out what the dome is, where it came from, and when (and if) it will go away.
Regarding the third-season finale, which served as a series finale, executive producer and showrunner Neal Baer said he was "very happy with this ending. I feel very satisfied. We made it so there could be another [season]… but it wasn’t necessary."[3]
The season received mixed reviews.[4][5]
After airing on Mondays for the first two seasons, the show moved to Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET for the third season, where it received an average of 0.96 in the 18–49 demographic and 4.70 million viewers over its 13-episode run.[6]
