The series is based on King's novel of the same name and produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment. "Lost" writer Brian K. Vaughn, who also wrote the celebrated comic book "Y: The Last Man," is scripting.

In a preview shown to reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour Saturday, King described scenes in which a plane crashes into the dome as it suddenly appears over the town.
