When a town is enclosed in a giant dome, trapping all of its inhabitants inside, you'd think you would know everyone.
But Monday's second-season premiere of "Under the Dome" (10 p.m. on CBS) introduces two new residents of Chester's Mill — reclusive Sam Verdreaux (Eddie Cahill) and teacher Rebecca Pine (Karla Crome).
Cahill ("CSI: NY") plays the brother-in-law of Big Jim (Dean Norris) and uncle to Junior (Alexander Koch). Sam, an ex-EMT, picked up the bottle and took to hiding out in a cabin in the woods after his sister committed suicide nine years before.
"He has a really strong connection to his sister's legacy," Cahill, 36, tells The Post. "Unlike some other folks in the town, he immediately is not a fan of the Dome. He has some pretty definite ideas about how he wants to go about rectifying the situation."
Monday's premiere, written by Stephen King — upon whose novel the series is based — picks up where Season 1 left off, when Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) dropped the egg into the lake while Big Jim held Barbie (Mike Vogel) in a noose.
Sam is introduced in the very first scene, where — lured out of his cabin by the Dome's glowing and humming — he befriends Julia in the woods. But there's clearly some bad blood between Sam and Big Jim, who comments that he's "been out of his head for quite a while now" after Sam shows his face for the first time since his sister's funeral.
"He's got a dark past … he's tied to what's currently happening in Chester's Mill with the Dome," Cahill says. "Sam's got secrets that people want to know about."
The mysterious Sam is a different kind of role for Cahill, a New York native now based in LA best known for nine seasons on "CSI: NY" and for playing Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) boyfriend Tag on "Friends."
"Coming off of 'CSI: NY,' I viewed this as an opportunity to do something a bit more character-driven … and not be so crime-solving specific," he says. "I liked the small town-ness of it. It just wasn't TV I was used to doing in a long time."
Cahill will appear in all 13 episodes of "Dome" this season, though producers have teased that two characters won't make it past the premiere.
"You're losing two biggies, I can say that," he says. "The effects of those deaths linger for a large part of the season and actually play permanent roles in some major developments."
