CBS Orders Second Season of Under the Dome

Stephen King thriller is a summertime smash

CBS on Monday announced that it has picked up the supernatural thriller Under the Dome for a second season, ordering 13 episodes to air in summer 2014.

The renewal was expected, given the uncharacteristically strong ratings the show has delivered in its first five installments. Dome debuted on Monday, June 24, to 13.5 million viewers, a 3.3 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and a 4.5 among the 25-54 set.

Since then, Dome has retained 85 percent of its overall deliveries.
