‘Under the Dome’ season 2 spoilers: ‘CSI: NY’ grad to rival Dean Norris

It’s been a little while since we had some big news to break when it comes to “Under the Dome,” but one of the major reasons why is simply that the show hasn’t been on the air since last summer. Luckily, the start of production soon is going to really start to help push forward our ability to have some more news to start sending in your direction.

The latest good news? Well, let’s just say that this is going to come in the form of Big Jim finally having himself a new rival. Eddie Cahill from “CSI: NY” is set to join the show moving forward as Sam, a good-looking recluse, which makes some sense to help explain why we haven’t seen him so far. The more important thing is that he is the brother-in-law of Dean Norris’ character, and is not going to have any problem at all taking him on.

In addition to Cahill’s casting, we are also hearing that “Misfits” alum Karla Crome is set to cross over to American TV this summer as Rebecca, a new character who could have a big role in Chester’s Mill. She is reportedly an intelligent and attractive teacher, and one who also has a great deal of history traveling all around the globe thanks to being an Army brat for most of the earlier portion of her life.

What do you think about some of these castings? Be sure to share your thoughts below, and also head over here if you do want to read some more news about what is coming up on “Under the Dome” later this season.
