Stephen King recently sat down for an interview to reveal what he's bringing to the table for the upcoming season of Under the Dome.

Barbie's Life Left 'In Big Jim's Hands' In Under the Dome Season 2 Premiere?

Under the Dome was a major summer success for CBS last season, and the series is coming back in a big way with the premiere episode of Season 2 written by King himself. The prolific writer, who wrote the novel (of the same name) on which the series is based, teased what's to come in Season 2 in a new behind-the-scenes video (featured below).

"We've got some great surprises in store for the audience in Season 2," King teased. It is revealed in the video that he was asked to write the premiere after the producers decided to include some major deaths in the episode.

King insists that he set out to "give it a few more teeth; give the characters even bigger challenges. So that's what we did. We're going to places that TV series don't often go. This is not gonna be all sunshine and light."

Indeed, the clips of the premiere episode shown in the behind-the-scenes video show the town of Chester's Mill under great destruction. The Dome has some new telekinetic powers and it has proceeded to show off its power on the townspeople. In a new clip, the Dome rips a large bell out of the church and pulls it towards the edge of the dome, as if the bell has become magnetized.

Under the Dome Season 2 premieres Monday, June 30 at 10 p.m. on CBS.
