"Under the Dome" executive producer Neal Baer wants the CBS series to last 15 seasons, putting it on par with his "ER," he reveals in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

Baer told the publication that "Under the Dome," which was initially billed as a limited "event" show, can last for 15 seasons.

"We're way past [Stephen King's] book," Baer said. "The book is about the first week and we're already two weeks in. This season will be going two more weeks. If we lasted 15 years, that would only be a year under the dome. It's certainly possible to keep going. We have so many stories to tell."

"Under the Dome" season 2 air date is Monday, June 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Spoilers reveal that death is coming to a "younger" character soon after the premiere.

E! News Spoiler Chat reveals: "Alright, we can tell that you're a true fan of this highly addicting sci-fi drama, so we're going to tell it to you straight: There are definitely two major deaths in the beginning of season two. Crazy, right?! As if that wasn't shocking enough, we're hearing another major one is coming by the end of the season. One hint on one of the earlier sendoffs? It's one of the series' younger stars. (Anyone else secretly hoping it's going to be Junior?)"

"This is a season of transformation," executive producer Neal Baer told USA Today previously about "Under the Dome" season 2. "Last year was a season of secrets being revealed about our characters. Now, they really have to cope with the ramifications of what this all means, since it doesn't look like they're getting out any time soon."

According to USA Today, "Under the Dome," based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, was the most-watched scripted summer series in 21 years, averaging 15.1 million viewers.

After the premiere of "Under the Dome" season 2, you'll catch a glimpse of King himself: the author wrote the second season's first episode, "Heads Will Roll," and will be seen in a cameo appearance in the town's diner.

"It was fantastic to work directly with Stephen. He's been a real hero of mine and now I get to work with him," Baer said.
