The CW has announced that their post-apocalyptic drama, The 100, will be coming to an end with its upcoming seventh season. The network renewed the drama for season 7 earlier this year.
The announcement was made by Mark Pedowitz, President of The CW at the TCA summer press tour. He said that series creator Jason Rothberg had always wanted to end The 100 after the seventh season. “We’ve been very good at listening to our showrunner creators about the right time to end our series,” he said.
Season 7 will consist of 16 episodes which will bring The 100 to the magic number of 100 episodes. Based on the book series by Kass Morgan, The 100 follows a group of post-apocalyptic survivors, largely a group of criminal adolescents, including Clarke Griffin, played by Eliza Taylor, Finn Collins, played by Thomas McDonell, Bellamy Blake, played by Bob Morley, Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos), Jasper Jordan (Devon Bostick), Monty Green (Christopher Larkin), Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan), John Murphy (Richard Harmon), and Wells Jaha (Eli Goree). They are among the first people from a space habitat, the Ark, to return to Earth after a devastating nuclear apocalypse.
