The 100 (TV series)

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 humans 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, the survivors face a new threat from the Mountain Men, who harvest their bone marrow to survive the radiation. Clarke and the others form a fragile alliance with the grounders to rescue their people. The season ends with Clarke making a devastating choice to save them all. In season three, power struggles erupt between the Arkadians and the grounders after a controversial new leader takes charge. Meanwhile, an AI named A.L.I.E., responsible for the original apocalypse, begins taking control of people’s minds. Clarke destroys A.L.I.E. but learns another disaster is imminent. In the fourth season, nuclear reactors are melting down, threatening to wipe out life again. Clarke and her friends search for ways to survive, including experimenting with radiation-resistant blood and finding an underground bunker. As time runs out, only a select few are able to take shelter.

The fifth season picks up six years later, when Earth is left largely uninhabitable except for one green valley, where new enemies arrive. Clarke protects her adopted daughter Madi while former survivors return from space and underground, triggering another war. The battle ends with the valley destroyed and the group entering cryosleep to find a new home. In season six, the group awakens 125 years later on a new planet called Sanctum, ruled by powerful families known as the Primes. Clarke fights to stop body-snatching rituals and protect her people from new threats, including a rebel group and a dangerous AI influence. The season ends with major losses and the destruction of the Primes' rule. In the seventh and final season, the survivors face unrest on Sanctum and clash with a mysterious group called the Disciples, who believe Clarke is key to saving humanity. A wormhole network reveals multiple planets and a final "test" that determines the fate of the species. Most transcend into a higher consciousness, but Clarke and a few others choose to live out their lives on a reborn Earth.

Peterson, who created Dothraki and Valyrian for Game of Thrones, developed the Trigedasleng language for The Grounders. Jason Rothenberg said it was similar to Creole English.{{cite web |url=https://www.hypable.com/the-100-season-2-grounder-language-peterson/ |title=The 100 language creator explains 'Grounder speak' |last=Wilken |first=Selina |work=Hypable |date=November 7, 2014 |access-date=November 7, 2017}} The language is called "Trig" on the show.{{cite episode |title=The Dark Year |series=The 100 |credits=Heidi Cole McAdams (writer) & Alex Kalymnios (director) |network=The CW |airdate=May 21, 2018 |season=5 |number=11 |time=6:14}} After his constructed language work on Star-Crossed, Peterson was contacted by the producers of The 100 to create a language for the Grounders, an evolution of English. In the setting, 97 years have passed since the apocalypse,{{cite episode |title=Pilot |episode-link=List of The 100 episodes#ep1 |series=The 100 |network=The CW |date=March 19, 2014 |season=1 |number=1 |minutes=00:28 |quote=It's been 97 years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone on Earth}} which is a very short time for significant language change.{{Cite web |url=http://conlangery.com/2016/07/04/conlangery-121-trigedasleng/ |title=Conlangery #121: Trigedasleng |date=July 4, 2016 |website=Conlangery Podcast |access-date=October 10, 2018 |archive-date=July 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729111841/http://conlangery.com/2016/07/04/conlangery-121-trigedasleng/ |url-status=live}} Because of this, Peterson posited an accelerated evolution in which the early Grounders used a cant specifically to obfuscate their speech and to differentiate between friend or foe. Trigedasleng derives from that cant and evolved over several short generations of survivors of the apocalypse.

The sixth season also has a 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, averaging a score of 7.20/10 based on 10 reviews.

In 2016, the series and showrunner Jason Rothenberg faced widespread controversy when Lexa, the leader of the Grounders and a lesbian character, was killed off in the third-season episode "Thirteen". Some critics and fans considered the death and the way it was written a continuation of the bury your gays trope in television, in which LGBT characters, especially queer women, are killed off far more often than others, implicitly portraying them as disposable and existing primarily to serve the stories of straight characters or to attract viewers. Lexa's death occurring immediately after having sex with Clarke received particular criticism. With The 100, along with shows like The Walking Dead and Supernatural all containing examples of the "bury your gays" trope around the same time, many were left upset. Fans of the show rallied behind the phrase "Lexa Deserved Better" as a way to show their disapproval of the character's death.{{cite web |url=https://www.proquest.com/openview/97053a52ff5f54c4efff3738fdfcc687/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y |title=The Intersectionality of Fourth-Wave Feminism in the Fandom of The 100 |website=ProQuest |access-date=December 1, 2024}}{{cite web |last=Snarker |first=D. |date=March 21, 2016 |title=Bury Your Gays: Why The 100, Walking Dead Deaths Are Problematic |website=The Hollywood Reporter |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bury-your-gays-why-100-877176/}} A debate about the trope among media, writers and viewers ensued, with Lexa's death cited by some as a prime example of the trope and why it should end.{{refn|

In October 2019, Rothenberg began developing a prequel series to The 100 for the CW. A backdoor pilot episode was ordered; "Anaconda" aired July 8, 2020, as an episode of the seventh and final season of The 100. The prequel series was to show the events 97 years before the original series, beginning with the nuclear apocalypse that wiped out almost all life on Earth.{{cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2019/10/the-100-prequel-series-in-works-the-cw-upcoming-episode-jason-rothenberg-backdoor-pilot-1202768155/ |title=The 100 Prequel From Jason Rothenberg In Works At the CW With Backdoor Pilot Order |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=October 24, 2019 |work=Deadline Hollywood |access-date=October 30, 2019 |archive-date=October 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191028181548/https://deadline.com/2019/10/the-100-prequel-series-in-works-the-cw-upcoming-episode-jason-rothenberg-backdoor-pilot-1202768155/ |url-status=live}}
