Trivia / Under the Dome

• Actor Allusion:
  • It's not the first time Mike Vogel's played a character whose last name was a woman's name.
  • Dean Norris once again finds himself involved with a notorious drug ring.
    • In "The Kinship" Norrie equates herself at camp to Katniss Everdeen and even kills a pig with an arrow; Mackenzie Lintz played one of the tributes in The Hunger Games.
  • Marg Helgenberger plays a character in a Stephen King film adaptation about a town being haunted by a mysterious alien force, just like 20 years ago.
• California Doubling: The town is supposed to be in Maine, but it's filmed in North Carolina.
• Creator Backlash / Disowned Adaptation: If this tweet is any indication, Stephen King does not approve of how the TV series turned out, despite serving as executive producer as well as writing the second season premiere:

  "How about Netflix bringing back UNDER THE DOME, only starting from scratch and actually doing the book?"

• Fake American: Rebecca Pine is played by English actress Karla Crome, while Rachelle Lefevre and Kylie Bunbury (Julia and Ava) are Canadian.
