CBS announced that the series Under The Dome and Extant will return for broadcast in summer 2015. Both from Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, Under The Dome returns for its third season, and Extant for its sophomore season.

“We’re committed to delivering our viewers and advertisers year-round programming with a wide variety of storytelling,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. “We continue to see summer as a great place for unique concepts, innovative business models and passionate television audiences.”

The successful second season of Under The Dome was the summer’s top scripted series, with 11 million viewers, 2.7/08 in adults 18-49 and 3.6/10 in adults 25-54. Extant, starring Academy Award winner Halle Berry, won its 10pm time period with 8.64 million viewers, 1.7/06 in adults 18-49 and 2.3/07 in adults 25-54. In addition to their broadcast on the Network, Under The Dome and Extant had additional viewing on Amazon’s Prime Instant Video, which provided exclusive online subscription streaming four days after the airing on CBS. 

In 2015, Under The Dome and Extant will join the previously announced freshman drama Zoo, based on James Patterson’s bestselling novel, and the next edition of the summer reality hit Big Brother, which has been renewed for 2015 and 2016.
