We don’t know about you, but we miss The 100. It was such an amazing show, with a phenomenal cast. Every episode felt like you were watching a movie. The show took us on a ride, but we have to admit that we were always wondering how things started.
That’s why we were so excited for the prequel, which we all have heard a lot about over the years. Like some of you, we wondered what was happening with it, especially after the backdoor pilot episode of The 100 that explored what it could be.
But we are going to have to keep wondering because The 100 prequel is not moving forward at The CW.
As much as we love The CW, sometimes we wonder if they realize that there is more to life that vampires and superheroes. But that being said…
The show would have been entitled, The 100: Second Dawn. It would have taken place 100 years prior to the events of The 100.
We’re going to miss out on so much. Meeting everyones ancestors.
Hopefully Kass Morgan will write the books so that we can learn more about the world of The 100.
Nah…
That prequel deserves to be dead.
Why make a prequel to a story where almost all of humanity is abducted by aliens and where the few survivors are sterilized (lgbtq characters nothing more and nothing less)?
Leaving aside the abusive behavior of the showrunner who was accused of racism by one of the actors and had Eliza film a scene pleading for her baby a few weeks after she had a miscarriage. One actress nearly lost an eye and another actor’s vocal cords were damaged when he was hung longer than necessary for a scene.
And I also leave aside the multiple cases of cultural appropriation that the show has and the racist implications behind the way in which the deaths of various characters were executed.
We need to start re-evaluating what we consume. Much more when these products are created under those conditions.
Such heartbreaking news for The 100 fandom! The show had such an incredible universe that a prequel would have been absolutely amazing. The Grounder culture, the clans, the history of the apocalypse there was so much story left to tell. The fan community is still very much alive though sites like Grounders Source are still actively covering the cast and keeping the fandom going. Hopefully someday a streaming platform picks this up!
