The 100, one of the most popular American series on Netflix and on CW had received a lot of appraise from the audience leading to higher chances of renewal. However, sorry to break your heart the producers have decided to end it on season 7. Based on a novel written by Kass Morgan, The 100 is a mixture of action, drama, science-fiction, dystopia, and post-apocalypse.
Will There be The 100 Season 8?
With a 7.6 rating on IMDB and created by Jason Rothenberg, the plot revolves around post-apocalyptic survivors of a nuclear war. Shot in Vancouver, the series stars a group of young criminals Eliza Taylor, Paige Turco, Thomas McDonell, Eli Goree, Bob Morley, Christopher Larkin, Isaiah Washington, Lindsey Morgan, Richard Harmon, Tasya Teles, JR Bourne, Shelby Flannery, Marie Avgeropoulos, Kelly Hu, Devon Bostick, Henry Ian Cusick, Ricky Whittle, Zach McGowan, Shannon Kook, and Chuku Modu.
The series The 100 started in 2013, however, the seventh season got delayed cause of the pandemic. The episodes that recently aired on Netflix (The Last Kingdom) are the final episodes of The 100. The show makers had mentioned in 2019 that they will end the show in a proper manner after its 100th episode.
The Finale Explained
Well, I still cannot interpret what transcendence exactly is. As always, the same classic narrative, the villain dies and the hero wins. Cadogan is killed by a shot in the back by Clarke, no fancy death. He killed so one to only be able to transcend which he is ultimately failed at. Sheidheda is not so surprisingly killed by Indra, it seems fitting as she had to face a lot of atrocities by Sheidhedha and also because he had killed her father. Clarke fails the test because she had committed a lot of murders and hence she cannot transcend. Even though it seems like a punishment initially but later we find out that all her loved ones chose not to transcend. They all eventually meet at Earth. The only punishment given to them is that they cannot pro-create which means that this was the end of humanity as a race.
The series ended with the characters facing the ultimate test of survival and sacrifice. The ending served both the purpose of moving and why it happened in the first place. Clarke and her friends finally understood their true purpose. The ending is pretty dark if you actually think about it.
The 100 Season 8: The Big Reveal
Even though there will not be a The 100 Season 8 either on Netflix or on The CW (Charmed Season 4) but there are chances of seeing a glimpse of the show more. Season 7, the 8th episode of The 100 titled “Anaconda” was more of a flashback episode. It is speculated that this episode can be a pilot to a new prequel which will be seen most likely on The CW, HBO Max or on Netflix.
According to TVLine, there will be a prequel to The 100: Second Dawn and it will be 2 years post the apocalypse rather than 100 years which is there in the initial series.
