‘Under the Dome’ TV Series Tries to Be ‘Lost’, Forgets to Be Stephen King [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

Ten years ago, CBS hit it big with its series adaptation of Stephen King‘s Under the Dome. The show arrived on June 24, 2013, shattering records to become the most watched summer drama premiere on any television network since 1992. It was a genuine summer event, and then, well, three years later it was all over. Since then, it’s retreated into obsolescence and even King, who was a producer, has called for a remake on Netflix.

So, what happened?

That’s a question The Losers’ Club tries to answer on today’s episode. After three episodes dedicated to the 2009 novel, the Losers return to Chester’s Mill to put a lens on the series’ three seasons. Together, Michael Roffman, Ana Marie Cox, Ashley Casseday, and Jenn Adams discuss the production history, the cast, the translation from page to screen, the elasticity of the premise, and all the wild, wild arcs that await viewers in Season 3.

Stream the fast and loud episode below and return next week when the Losers roll out the red carpet for another installment of The Kingies, celebrating the best and worst of 2000s era Stephen King. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
