After more than a year in development, Stephen King's Under The Dome is at last headed to television—though not on cable, as originally planned and hoped for, considering all the violence and disemboweling and stuff. Showtime's corporate sister CBS has picked up the project with a straight-to-series order of 13 episodes due to air next summer, in the wake of Showtime passing on the premise for not fitting in with the rest of Showtime's programming (such as a disappointing lack of plotlines in which the dome had sex with someone it shouldn't). All the original behind-the-scenes people are still attached, however: Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television is producing and the script from Brian K. Vaughan is still in play, with Law And Order: SVU's Neal Baer now attached as showrunner and Niels Arden Oplev, director of the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, on board to helm the first chapter.
