The 100 Season 7 is simply weeks away, and although we’re nonetheless recovering from Season 6 (which had two main character deaths, a darkish Commander, literal body-snatchers, and probably even a little bit of time journey), we’re extra keen than ever to see the present’s last season. At this level, it is anybody’s guess how The 100 will wrap all the things up, largely as a result of the Season 6 finale left us in a significant lurch!
Season 6 ended on an enormous cliffhanger, even by The 100′s requirements, with an grownup model of Hope (Shelby Flannery) displaying as much as stab (and probably kill) Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos). Are you able to dissolve into inexperienced mist and nonetheless survive? The jury is out on that till Season 7 premieres. To make issues worse, we’re utterly in the dead of night about Sheidheda’s whereabouts or how precisely our heroes will make peace with the Sanctum society.
Regardless of the clarification for all these twists will likely be, we’ll have to attend till Season 7 premieres to get some solutions. We have nonetheless bought a little bit of a wait earlier than Season 7 hits our screens, however within the meantime, TV Information has been looking out for spoilers and behind-the-scenes data in regards to the present’s last run of episodes.
Here is all the things we all know to date about The 100‘s last season.

On the opposite finish of the spectrum, a brand new character named Hatch (Chad Rook) sounds a lot much less harmful.
