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.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The 100 TV series? Are you happy it was renewed for season five? How would you have felt if The CW had cancelled this TV show, instead?
1/7/18 update: The CW has announced that season five of The 100 will debut in April 2018. Details here.
I am 72 & enjoy even bad science fiction. I am more captivated by the actor than the miserable plots & subplots. But I am losing interest in the 100 because of the homosexual agenda. I do not like heterosexual scenes as well. What is the fixation with sex scenes? It adds nothing to the story. I can live with sexual tension between characters but get a room and stay out of mine.
Slow clap… I think they made Clarke cheap and tacky, she is literally addicted to sex. Doesn’t bode well after her exes died because of her too, Lexa twice.
Alex, I respect that you have your own opinion on the show, everyone does, you should respect other people’s opinion too not ******* reply to every single positive comment about how “bad the show is” and how much you “disagree”. Like jesus ******* christ it’s annoying and dumb. I get it, you’re just voicing your opinion, good for you! No need to ******* shove it in everyones faces.
I just binged watch 3 and a half seasons in 2 weeks. Hooked on the show keep it going glade to hear season 5 is going to be made!
I am pleased that it has been renewed! Great show!
Please keep the 100 series going. Greatly enjoy the show every spring. I think there’s plenty of shows ahead. I don’t miss any episodes. I think its one of the best sci-fi shows,out there!!! Please keep it going!!!
I love the show. Eliza is so fantastic!! I think it is time for the”Bellamy “character to go. I will watch it before any other show on the CW. In fact it is the best show on the CW. I can not for the life of me figure out why the ratings aren’t better. Come on CW fans!!!!
Um…Lexa! Honestly she was even better than Clarke. Killing her off has nearly killed the show.
Bellamy must stay!!!
Kelly- I agree The 100 wouldn’t feel like The 100 with out Bellamy or Clarke ^_^
Watched first two seasons on Netflix got addicted and have been watching since. Plus I bought all of the seasons as thr come out, so I can keep rewatching. lol
I’m picky with shows and this is clearly a favorite of mine
Keep this show going I love watching it, I can’t see it go I have yo watch cartoons all day and this show is the only thing I can watch when the kids are asleep its my escape from reality
My husband and I found this show on Netflix and can I tell you that we couldn’t stop watching it? Love it…. I do however want a finally at some point, when a show gets a little lengthy the writers run out of things to do. Stories became a bit crazier. I do need a few more seasons though! I do not want it to cancel without an end. How I wish Lincoln was still alive, that one got to me.
My wife and I really enjoy this show, the only issue we have is that here in Canada, the CW is no longer an HD Channel so we don’t get to see the CW in HD, a total bummer.
That is a bummer, I usually watch The 100 on a website because I don’t have cable :/ So I’m watching it on my little computer instead of the big screen 🙁
I have one problem with a lot of shows and PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME FIND AN ANSWER ?????????? I LPVE the 100 as well as a lot of other show . I for the life of me cand not understand why all the music is added to some shows so loud one can not hear what the actors are saying ??????? PLEASE HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY such AWESOME shows have to ruin it by usuing LOUD music and other AWESOME shows do not use music at all and are actually a better show because one can hear everything said… Read more »
I’ve noticed that from all the CW shows. The music is always louder than the voice. I have to turn up the volume when I watch that station. I don’t mind the music, it just could be a bit less loud.
I also have this same issue as well as my wife, we really struggle to understand the words of the actors over the loud music, so glad I’m not the only one suffering this.
I normally use subtitles 🙂 Always works for me! ^_^
The sound is great on my TV
Sora I too love the show and I am wondering what they will do in seasons 6-7-8-9-10 ETC !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the show lasts for many years to com so CW keep up the AWESOME SHOWS !!!!!!!
OMG! I know! It’s possible it might last a long time, I mean look how long Supernatural has lasted it’s on it’s 13th season! 😀 Who’s your favorite character? And favorite season??? 🙂
Octavia Blake!!!!!!^_^
Cool! I love the Blakes! Bellamy is my fave ^_^
I will always LOVE this show 🙂 I wonder what they are planning for season 5 though? How are they going to go above this nuclear meltdown plot? I’m excited to find out! 😀
I discovered The 100 on Netflix and I love it! Unfortunately because Netflix is a season behind I can’t join the fans who watch current episodes on the CW which means my input is not considered when bigwigs are viewing the ratings! I hope studio management will keep fans like me in mind when they are deciding whether or not to renew shows like The 100! I may be a season behind but I am a devoted fan!!
Heyyy ! I watch the show on Netflix too. I am currently watching this season on a app called showbox. Google it ! It’s a lifesaver
Awesome news! It’s the only show that i can stomach, on the CW. Can’t wait to see how the show plays out!
The people that are affected by radiation turn into zombies in season 5 #spoileralert
I’m so excited! The 100 is one of the best, if not the best, show on TV right now. The relationships & dynamics are phenomenal. Having the main relationship, co-leaders or more, be interracial is huge! POC Bellamy and Clarke being Bi? Awesome Lets not forget that there’s more POC rep on there than most shows. Raven with how she copes with her disability is phenomenal, Jasper with PTSD. Monty finding strength. Yup, it’s well rounded!
