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 can’t wait until the next season!!! When oh when will season 5 air. My whole family watches it together. That is saying a lot. We usually don’t all like the same shows.
It will go just like Firefly… I always pick great shows with small followings… blame me.
Am so looking forward to season 5 and the future of the 100. Like how season 4 ended which kind of showed where season 5 was headed (becoming a penal colony) yet how will things progress. Interesting for sure.
I am wondering about what will happen in season five (we found the series on Netflex). They really stretched plot in all directions at the end of season four. If you are a science geek, I am sure you have noticed things along the way that they should have taken more time to get right. For example, what poison sumac looks like. When the kid eat what looked like a morning glory flower, and another replied “that was poison sumac”; I thought “wow, someone didn’t put much effort into their props.” The same with the mountains that are suppose to… Read more »
It is wrong the 100 took a hit because a gay actress was let go.The 100 is a really good show.People get killed off all the time .
I’m a big fan of The100 I jus started watching it this year all the seasons. I think it’s the greatest tv series I’ve seen. However I was curious about what other ppl think. I saw a Some ppl on Twitter particularly some Clexa or Lexa fans bcos of Alycia’s exit on The100 and some ***** baiting whatever that is, they had a lot of negative comments abt Jason and the show others even saying the show is totally gonna be cancelled bcos it’s ratings will go down. So I was curious how accurate are these ratings and is it… Read more »
PLEASE GET SEASON 5 started!! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting!!! Best TV show in years!!!
Love it too.
Can’t wait for it to start.
I just spent 4 days watching this series, didn’t even know it existed. WOW, I pray they continue because I can’t imagine it stopping with that prison ship and not knowing what happened to those who went to space or those that were in the bunker. Or even why she had a child with her. I think I would go crazy not seeing more. If season 5 is to be the end there is a lot of loose ends to tie up.
It can’t start soon enough. For Sure = “A Fan”.
I just discovered it and i’m definitely a fan. Will tell friends.
This show is amazing. It is so well written. It always keeps you going to the next episode. Maybe it can be a show that finally keeps on going. Usually, when a show reachies the series finale, the closure is poor. This show should go on for years and years. Not everyone has caught on to Netflix yet. The market for the show is definitely present.
Love this show!!! BUT if it’s going to be cancelled I hope they give viewers closure.
love this show and I must have more of it…..very glad to hear that there will be a season 5…..I hope there will be a season 6, 7, 8, and so on….when will it start? does anyone know?
I heard Spring 2018
I have been watching since the beginning I get more hooked every season please when time comes to end the show be gentle I don’t want to go through with draws like Lincoln had to lol
The 100 is outstanding! The shows are riveting, action packed and always with a surprising twist that left me wanting to know what happens next. The Actors are excellent! They play their characters so well, and each of them with their unique personalities, they were all intriguing in their own right. Who ever did the casting was right on point with the Actors picked for each character. And the Actors did their character justice. Too bad Lincoln got killed off. His character had much more to give . Lincoln and a Octavia’s relationship with each other and all the clans… Read more »
