"I'm thrilled to be working with Mare Winningham on Under the Dome," said executive producer Neal Baer. "She's my good-luck charm: I worked with her on ER, as well as on Law & Order: SVU (for which she was Emmy-nominated as Best Guest Actress).  She brings truth and believability to every role and she will definitely leave viewers talking."

The Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actress, who is well known for her roles in St. Elmo's Fire, Georgiaand Hatfields & McCoys, will appear in at least one episode slated for late August.

Under the Dome airs Mondays at 10/9c on CBS.
