The dome is just a catalyst for lots of other bad things in the 13-week series, a collaboration between King and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment. In just over a minute, we see a body buried dumped in a grave, ambulances, and a bloody hand touched to the dome.

The series, which begins in June, is part of a recent trend toward limited-run "event" series as networks as they struggle to find hit dramas. Fox also has two big limited-run series in the works, "Wayward Pines" and "Blood Brothers."
