Get ready to start seeing plenty of Under the Dome content over the next few months. CBS is set to air the first of thirteen episodes on June 24th and we've put together a gallery of fifteen images, including new photos from the pilot episode.

CBS has also issued a new press release, confirming the main cast and giving us the official plot description for the first episode:

"Pilot" - When the residents of Chester's Mill find themselves trapped under a massive transparent dome with no way out, they struggle to survive as resources rapidly dwindle and panic quickly escalates, on the series premiere of UNDER THE DOME, Monday, June 24 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Niels Arden Oplev ("The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo") directed the premiere episode.

UNDER THE DOME, a new 13-episode serialized drama based on Stephen King's bestselling novel, is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town's inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers about the dome, where it came from and if and when it will go away.
