STEPHEN KING'S UNDER THE DOME SERIES PREMIERE ANNOUNCED

Legendary author Stephen King has yet another adaptation of one of his novels in the works, this time of his rather recent 2009 science fiction novel Under The Dome. The novel's story is centered around a small American town that suddenly has a giant invisible force field surround it, sealing it off from the rest of the world. The mysterious force is studied and questioned, but a lot of the action takes place within the town as violence and attempts to control the newly enclosed town erupt. Alright, I'll just say it... The Simpons already did it. But, technically, this is a work that King has had in the works for decades now, with two rough versions dealing with the same subject matter that finally came together in his 2009 novel.

 The adaptation will come in television form courtesy of CBS, who have just announced a premiere date for the new series of Monday, June 24th at 10 PM. Also expect some Super Bowl ads for this one come game day.
