CBS’s summer series Under the Dome got off to a good start in the ratings last night, posting the highest debut for a drama since Revolution.
Despite facing competition for male viewers from hockey’s Stanley Cup Finals on NBC, the drama averaged a big 3.2 rating/9 share in adults 18-49 and 13.2 million viewers overall in the 10 o’clock hour, finishing a close second to hockey in 18-49 and nearly tripling its first-run drama competition from ABC’s Mistresses (1.1/3 in 18-49, 3.7 million viewers overall).
The series, in which a giant invisible dome suddenly appears around the small town of Chester’s Mill, is produced by Neal Baer and Brian K. Vaughan (who adapted Stephen King’s book). It stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Britt Robertson and Natalie Martinez.
