Update: 16th Jan Thanks to Christian for the following.
Mackenzie Lintz' mom has confirmed that Mackenzie (Norrie on 'Under the Dome') has been made a series regular in S02, and is not a recurring guest character any more.
“@hagachr: @kclintz Do you happen to know if Mackenzie will be a series regular in S2?" She is!
— kclintz (@kclintz) January 16, 2014Here is some info on the trailer that was shown at the TCA Presentation. As soon as CBS release it we'll be sure to post.
"The second season is going to take us places the book never go to go, he's bringing his own twists and turns," says Vaughn. "Stephen King gave us ideas we've never imagined. What's outside [the dome] comes inside."
The second season is going to explore the major question that was introduced in the Season 1 finale: The dome is there to protect them, but protect them from what?
In doing so, the show will introduce a new character in the form of Junior's uncle, who has been hiding out for reasons that will be revealed eventually and who will "cause problems for Barbie." Isn't that the Rennie family motto?
Another new character will be a young schoolteacher who is "quite forceful" and who will cause some major heat for Big Jim Rennie (Dean Norris).
Speaking of heat for Big Jim, there was footage of him kissing Linda Esquivel (Natalie Martinez) in the teaser trailer, which ... ew. Maybe that's just a dream he's having? Please?
