The science-fiction drama, based on Stephen King's 2009 novel, will conclude in a finale Sept. 10 finale, in which which the impenetrable bubble that suddenly fell on the small town will finally be lifted and the mysteries of its origins revealed -- but not before one final, fatal showdown for the residents of Chester's Mill.
