Jason Rothenberg teases the final destiny for humanity in The 100

The staring contest entered its seventh hour.
FOR THE ENTIRE SEVEN-YEAR run of The 100, the last remnants of humanity have had their asses kicked… a lot. Post-apocalyptic landscapes will often do that, but watching Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) try to lead her fellow survivors, and then followers, to some semblance of peaceful existence has been a dark journey.
With the show now in its seventh and final season, executive producer/showrunner Jason Rothenberg tells Red Alert that bringing their myriad of epic sci-fi storylines to a close has really been a work in progress for three seasons. “The thematic ending of Monty [Christopher Larkin] telling Clarke and the rest of the survivors to do better, and try to find a meaning for the endless violence and death and survival drama that we’ve been unspooling for these now seven seasons, was definitely becoming clearer by the end of season five,” Rothenberg explains. “This season we find Clarke and the rest of them going, literally, to the ends of the universe to try to bring and keep their family together. So, the ending answers the question as to whether or not that’s gonna happen.”
