The 100 (pronounced The Hundred [2]) is an American post-apocalyptic science

fiction drama television series that premiered on March 19, 2014 on The CW, and
ended on September 30, 2020. Developed by Jason Rothenberg, the series is
loosely based on the young adult novel series of the same name by Kass Morgan.

 The 100 follows post-apocalyptic survivors from a space habitat, the Ark, who
return to Earth nearly a century after a devastating nuclear apocalypse. The first
people sent to Earth are a group of juvenile delinquents who encounter descendants
of survivors of the nuclear disaster on the ground.
The main characters of juvenile prisoners includes Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor), Finn
Collins (Thomas McDonell), Bellamy Blake (Bob Morley), Octavia Blake (Marie
Avgeropoulos), Jasper Jordan (Devon Bostick), Monty Green (Christopher Larkin),
and John Murphy (Richard Harmon). Other lead characters include Clarke's mother
Dr. Abby Griffin (Paige Turco), Marcus Kane (Henry Ian Cusick), and Chancellor
Thelonious Jaha (Isaiah Washington), all of whom are council members on the Ark,
and Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan), an engineer aboard the Ark.

Plot[edit]
Ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear apocalypse wipes out most human
life on Earth, thousands of people now live in a space station orbiting Earth, which
they call the Ark. Three generations have been born in space, but when life-support
systems on the Ark begin to fail, one hundred juvenile detainees are sent to Earth in
a last attempt to determine whether it is habitable, or at least save resources for the
remaining residents of the Ark. They discover that some survived the apocalypse: the
Grounders, who live in clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group
of grounders who have been turned into cannibals by the Mountain Men; and the
Mountain Men, who live in Mount Weather, descended from those who locked
themselves away before the apocalypse. Under the leadership
of Clarke and Bellamy, the juveniles attempt to survive the harsh surface conditions,
battle hostile grounders and establish communication with the Ark.
In the second season, forty-eight of the remaining detainees are captured and taken
to Mount Weather by the Mountain Men. These are transfusing blood from
imprisoned grounders as an anti-radiation treatment as their bodies have not adapted
to deal with the remaining radiation on Earth. Medical tests of the forty-eight show
their bone marrow will allow the Mountain Men to survive outside containment, so
they begin taking the youths' bone marrow. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the Ark
have crash-landed various stations on Earth and begin an alliance with the grounders
to save both their people, naming the main settlement at Alpha Station "Camp Jaha".
The season ends with the massacre of the Mountain Men to save the prisoners.
During this time, former Chancellor Jaha leads a group in search of a fabled "City of
Light". Jaha discovers an artificial intelligence named A.L.I.E. while John Murphy
finds an alarming video implying a connection between the AI and the destruction of
the world.
In the third season, Alpha Station, renamed Arkadia, comes under new management
when Pike, a former teacher and mentor on the Ark, is elected as chancellor and
begins a war with the grounders. Pike kills an encampment of grounder warriors
while they sleep, which further damages their already fragile relationship with the
grounders. Furthermore, the grounder commander Lexa is killed by her mentor
during a failed assassination attempt on Clarke, with whom she was romantically
involved. A.L.I.E. – who was commanded to make life better for mankind – is
revealed to have responded to the problem of human overpopulation by launching
the nuclear apocalypse that devastated Earth, and begins to use ingestible computer
chips to take control of peoples' minds. A.L.I.E. is ultimately destroyed by Clarke, but
not before warning of another impending apocalyptic disaster.
In the fourth season, two dozen nuclear reactors around the world are melting down
due to decades of neglect that will result in the majority of the planet becoming
uninhabitable. Clarke and the others search for ways to survive the coming wave of
radiation. When it is discovered that the grounders with black blood – known as the
Nightbloods – can metabolize radiation, Clarke and the others attempt to recreate the
formula, but fail to test it. An old bunker is discovered that can protect 1,200 people
for over five years from the new apocalypse; each of the twelve clans selects a
hundred people to stay in the bunker. A small group decides to return to space and
attempt to survive in the remnants of the Ark. Clarke, who is now a nightblood,
remains on the Earth's surface alone.
In the fifth season, six years after the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, a prisoner
transport ship arrives in the only green spot left on Earth, where Clarke has been
living with Madi, a young Nightblood grounder who also survived the wave of
radiation that swept the planet after the meltdown. Those who survived in space and
in the bunker have returned safely on the ground. A struggle for the Shallow Valley
between the prisoners and a new, united clan, known as Wonkru, begins, resulting in
a battle ending with the valley being destroyed. The survivors escape to space and
go into cryosleep while they wait for the Earth to recover. However, Monty believes
that Earth will apparently never recover and, before dying of old age, sets the prison
ship on a course for a new world.
In the sixth season, after 125 years in cryosleep, Clarke, Bellamy, and the others
wake up to find out that they are no longer orbiting Earth and have been brought to a
new habitable world, Alpha, also known as Sanctum. After landing on this world, they
discover a new society, led by ruling families known as the Primes. They also
discover new dangers in this new world, and a mysterious rebel group, known as the
Children of Gabriel as well as a mysterious Anomaly. Clarke falls victim to the Primes
and ends up in a battle with one for control of her body, a fight which she ultimately
wins. The season ends with the deaths of most of the Primes, but also with the loss
of Abby Griffin and Marcus Kane. Throughout the season, Madi is haunted through
the Flame AI by the spirit of the Dark Commander, an evil grounder leader that had
ruled when Indra was a child. In order to save Madi, Raven is forced to destroy the
Flame, but the Dark Commander escapes.
The seventh season finds the inhabitants of Sanctum trying to find a way to live
together in peace following the aftermath of the events of the previous season while
battling the resurrected Dark Commander. At the same time, Clarke and others come
into conflict with the mysterious Disciples, humans from another world who are
convinced that Clarke holds the key to winning the last war that is coming. The
season also explores the mysterious Anomaly introduced in the sixth season, now
identified as a wormhole linking six planets, one of them being a regenerated Earth,
together. After vanishing and being believed dead for some time, Bellamy returns but
converts to the Disciple cause, having gone through a life-changing experience while
stuck in the cold and treacherous mountains. After returning and converting to the
Disciple cause, this leads to his death at Clarke's hands. At the end of the series, the
Dark Commander is permanently killed by Indra and humanity achieves
Transcendence aside from Clarke who committed murder during the test. They find
out the test isn't an actual war, but a way to join the alien hive mind, which is a
peaceful universal consciousness that grants immortality. Clarke returns to Earth
where her surviving friends and Octavia's new boyfriend Levitt choose to join her to
live out their lives, so that Clarke will not be alone. They will not have children, due to
their infertility and sterility, and the series ends with Clarke's group being the last
humans to ever live on the mortal plane of existence, on a pristine Earth, which is
now habitable again.
