On April 24, 2019, The CW renewed The 100 for a seventh season ahead of its sixth season premiere.[18] On August 4, 2019, it was announced by Mark Pedowitz and series developer Jason Rothenberg that the new season would be the show's last, and that it would contain sixteen episodes, to finish the series with a grand total of 100 episodes.[19][20]
Casting
Various cast members who had recurring roles in previous seasons of The 100 returned to star in the seventh season, including Sachin Sahel as Eric Jackson, Jarod Joseph as Nathan Miller, and Adina Porter as Indra. On September 19, 2019, Alaina Huffman was cast as Nikki, a character described as being "a bank robber and spree-killer who is both unpredictable and fierce."[21] Additionally, on September 25, 2019, Chuku Modu was upped to series regular in the role of Gabriel Santiago.[22] In the series finale, Paige Turco and Alycia Debnam-Carey both returned in guest appearances in the roles of Abby Griffin and Lexa, respectively.[23]
Filming
Filming for the series finale began in Vancouver on March 4, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic and concluded on March 15.[24][25]
Marketing and release
On March 4, 2020, it was revealed that the last season of The 100 would premiere on The CW on May 20, 2020, and that it would feature a timeslot change for the season moving from Tuesday's to Wednesday's at 8 PM ET.[26] The season's official trailer was released two weeks prior to its release on May 8.[27] The season's poster was unveiled on May 15.[28]
Reception
Critical response
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the seventh season of The 100 holds an approval rating of 100% based on 8 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[29] From Entertainment Weekly, Dalene Rovenstine opined that, "Overall, I'm not crazy that this very sci-fi show suddenly went supernatural/spiritual at the end. There were certainly rocky spots in this season for sure, just like the series in general. But honestly, I'm just happy that Clarke, Raven, and Octavia finally get to be happy. And I'm thankful for all the seasons we've got to spend with them."[30] Writing for Collider, Haleigh Foutch lauded the show's characters, and their development throughout the season, stating that "Every character is forced to pull their own personal lever of sorts, placed in a position where they have to make a snap survival judgment that puts their values to the test. Some of their choices may surprise you."[31] Forbes' journalist Linda Maleh gave positive feedback to the season's suspenseful storyline, saying that the series helped her go through the quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that "There’s a new set of mysteries and stakes this season that will keep fans on the edge of their seats, and [...] for those mournfully repeating "may we meet again" to this beloved series, know that there's a backdoor pilot in store for a prequel series this season, so we may just get more of The 100 after all."[32] From CBR.com, Sam Stone also praised the series for its cast, and suspenseful story, stating that "The 100's new season hits the ground running—literally—barely giving its characters and, by extension, its audience, the chance to breathe as the stakes are raised once again."[33]
