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.

Must continue with a season 5!!! Can’t leave us all hanging like that!!!
Just watched last two episodes again to see if I had missed something. Please, You ended it with a whole new start. Gotta watch “5”. I don’t care if I never get anything done around tha house.
I’m so ready for season 5 coming I love this show so much!!!!!
Ready for season 5. I’ve watched all the seasons on netflix 3 times. Cant get enough .
Literally I love this show. I watch it and then binge it all when it comes out on Netflix. Probably the best show (and only one I religiously watch) since Lost. I will be crushed when it ends and may never watch tv again.
I love this show. I am so happy that they are renewing it for another season. Honestly I don’t watch it on CW but I binge it over and over on Netflix since it first was released and I have not been able to stop watching it. Literally probably the best show since Lost (maybe tied with The Walking Dead, but they have been slacking lately). I will be crushed if they stop making new episodes and may just refuse to watch tv ever again.
I’m really glad they’re going for season 5 and I can tell from the ending there’s another twist where Sky Crew are now the grounders. But I think if they don’t get everyone out of the bunker they’re doomed. Either way I can’t wait to see season five to see how it turns out. Thank you CW for bringing it back. But 22 episodes would be fantastic. Plus Sly Reaper needs to show her skills fighting more. Love that character.
What a show can’t get enough. Roll on season 5 .
I’m so thankful that season five is coming, I love “the 100”. Honestly thank you guys for making this TV show, you guys made me Happy and I’ve been with y’all since season 1 and honestly its the best show I’ve ever seen, I’m to the point where I kinda wanna match the tattoo Octavia has, she’s my favorite , always a wildcard, I’m just saying thank you guys for making my life better. And keep up the good work,
We love The 100, cannot wait for season 5!
Great show. Season 5 will be awesome
I am soooooooo happy that the 100 I’d coming back for season 5. I love this show, keeps my heart pounding the whole time and is so unpredictable. Love all the diversity with characters and love the actors too!
I just started the 100 last Saturday and I’m already on season 4. I love this show so much it’s so exciting and never gets boring. I’m so glad it was renewed for a season 5!!
