About The 100 (TV series) in brief
The 100 is an American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama television series that premiered on March 19, 2014, on The CW. The series, developed by Jason Rothenberg, is loosely based on the novel series of the same name by Kass Morgan. The 100 follows a group of survivors who return to Earth after a devastating nuclear apocalypse. Other lead characters include Dr. Abby Griffin, Clarke’s mother; Marcus Kane, a council member on the Ark; and Thelonious Jaha, the Chancellor of the Ark and Wells’ father. The show is expected to return for a second season on September 30, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET on the CW. It is based on Kass Morgan’s novel series, The 100, which was first published in 1998 and has been adapted into a series of films and a TV series by The Weinstein Company and Sylvester Stallone, among other things. The main characters are Clarke Griffin, Finn Collins, Bellamy Blake, Octavia Blake, Jasper Jordan, Monty Green, Raven Reyes, John Murphy, and Wells Jaha. They are among the first people from a space habitat, the Ark, to return to planet Earth after the apocalypse. They discover that some survived the apocalypse: the grounders, who live in clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group of grounders who have been turned into cannibals by the Mountain Men; and the Mountain men, who are descended from those who locked themselves away before the apocalypse and live in Mount Weather.
In the fourth season, hundreds of nuclear reactors around the world are melting down due to decades of neglect that will result in the majority of the planet becoming uninhabitable. Clarke and the others search for ways to survive the coming wave of radiation. An old bunker is able to protect 1,200 people for over five years from the new apocalypse; a group decides to return and attempt to survive in a night bunker. In fifth season, six years after the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, a prisoner ship arrives in the only green spot left on Earth, where Clarke and a Nightblood grounder who survived the wave are united as a new clan known as the Shallow Valley. The prisoners struggle between the prisoners and the new clan, known as A Wonk, who is now known as Madi, who has been living on the ground for the past six years. The season ends with the massacre of the MountainMen to save the prisoners. The last season ends on a cliffhanger with the prisoners still on the surface and the prisoners trying to survive on their own. The final season of The 100 is scheduled to air on September 29, 2020. It will be followed by a spin-off series called The 100: Rise of the 100, about a new generation of criminal adolescents who are determined to find a way to survive after the end of the world. The CW has yet to announce a premiere date for the second season, but has said that it will be in early 2020.
