While it’s not yet up on the network press site, Deadline reports The 100 TV show has been renewed for season five on The CW. The sci-fi drama stars Eliza Taylor, Paige Turco, Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Devon Bostick, Lindsey Morgan, Christopher Larkin, Isaiah Washington, and Henry Ian Cusick.
According to the report, creator Jason Rothenberg is expected to continue on at The 100, as executive producer and showrunner. That said, he has the Searchers TV show pilot in development, also at The CW. Should it be ordered to series, it is likely they’ll bring on a co-showrunner for The 100.
As it did in 2016 and 2015, The CW has once again issued early renewals to all it returning scripted series currently, except for The Vampire Diaries and Reign, which were previously announced as ending or cancelled.
The CW previously gave renewals to: Arrow (season six), The Flash (season four), DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (season three), Supergirl (season three), and that old battle-ax Supernatural (season 13), as well as comedies Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (season three) and Jane the Virgin (season four).
In addition, The CW just renewed Riverdale, for a second season, earlier this week. As noted in the report, their other new series, No Tomorrow and Frequency, are less likely to be renewed.

1/7/18 update: The CW has announced that season five of The 100 will debut in April 2018. Details here.
I am a fan. It’s nice to have a dark show like this on tv. One day you are rooting for someone the next week you are betrayed by them in a way that doesn’t make you hate them because survival is the goal. I hope it continues for manny more seasons. It has the chance because of the solid writing and great plot twists
Please let it run to season 6 at least. this show has gotten me through a very difficult and dark time recently. I love the show and Eliza Taylor is the best..
I love the show but season 5 will proably be it’s last
.
Binge watched the first 2 seasons every evening for about a week and a half. Naturally, got hooked in the first 3 episodes. Had to take time off to take my wife on a vacation, but, upon arrival home finished the show, and can not wait for season 5.
I love this show! Hope to see it go on as long as possible! Excited to watch season 5 please let it be soon! Also my opinion in the ratings is most likely due to many people like myself watch it on THE CW app or Hulu, because CW in my area has bad sound and image quality. So I always watch on the next day on app due to the poor quality I can’t watch whill airing. This is how many people in my viewing area watch the show. Not sure if it’s the cable provider but the CW… Read more »
so,the start date for season5 of 100 is?
I enjoyed this show. Very exciting. I hope it continues for awhile.
I absolutely love this show and would be devastated if Season 5 was cancelled. With how Season 4 ended it would be awful not to at least have a final season to end the series.
Love it! Addicted! Although im a little old for it….who cares…hurry with season 5!
If the producers cancel the season 5 this could be reallllly mess up …. because how we could know what happened with the grounders in the bunker and with the Skaikru in the Arcadia ring …. looks like everyone just die or kill themselves over the years … and who is the other people comes from the spaces after 6 years and 7 days? we need answers LOL
They won’t cancel it, it’s already been renewed and they already started filming in August 🙂 We’ll get our answers soon enough!
I am a fan as well. Altho I am not in the typical age group for this show, I find it very well acted and full of action. Please continue on with the show and hurry with season five.
