CBS has set its summer slate, with return dates for “Big Brother” and Stephen King’s “Under the Dome” announced -- among others -- and a slight delay for the Halle Berry-Steven Spielberg limited-run series “Extant.”

The end of June kicks off the rollout. “Big Brother” will return Wednesday, June 25. New legal drama “Reckless” will make its debut a few days later, on Sunday, June 29, finished off by the third season premiere of “Unforgettable.”

Then, on Monday, June 30, it’s time to gear up for people trapped in a bubble, with the return of “Under the Dome.” As previously announced, the premiere will be penned by Stephen King, who wrote the bestseller on which the series is based.
