The 100
Survival isn't who you are. It's who you become.
Created by Jason Rothenberg
On The CW
A serialized post-apocalyptic survival drama that escalates from a high-concept premise into an increasingly dark exploration of moral compromise and the cost of leadership.
100 years in the future, when the Earth has been abandoned due to radioactivity, the last surviving humans live on an ark orbiting the planet — but the ark won't last forever. So the repressive regime picks 100 expendable juvenile delinquents to send down to Earth to see if the planet is still habitable.
