The 100 premiered its seventh and final season on The CW just over a year ago. The full sci-fi series may now be seen, rewatched, and remembered on Netflix, seven years and 100 (yes, exactly 100) episodes later. For some dedicated fans of the hit apocalyptic drama, though, that may not be enough. You’re not alone if you’re experiencing a The 100-shaped vacuum in your streaming habits this time around. The bad news is that the show will not be returning anytime soon, but the good news is that it will be resurrected. We might have a few shows that will satisfy your craving for high-stakes sci-fi drama.
The 100 is set after human civilisation on Earth has been destroyed by nuclear Armageddon. Fortunately, 12 international space stations were launched into orbit before the disaster. When the survivors decide to test Earth’s viability, they are compelled to choose 100 people from among the 4,000 who are safely residing in the stars. As a result, they send 100 juvenile detainees back to Earth to assess the planet’s habitability. The teenagers struggle to make their way on Earth, developing relationships with one another and striving to survive, because they’ve only ever known life in space stations. There are a lot of post-apocalyptic shows on Netflix, but how many of them can compare to The 100? If you enjoyed The 100, here are more Netflix shows to check out:
‘3%’
3 percent takes place in the far future on a new continent known as Inland, where the majority of the people is now forced to live in poverty. The majority of people reside on Inland, while a small group of exceptional individuals are chosen to live in the utopia known as Offshore. When Inland citizens turn 20, new Offshore residents are chosen; they must pass a tough test, with only the best three percent of residents moving forward. The show follows this process as well as a small group of young people who must adjust to their new surroundings.
‘Colony’
Colony is set in a near-future Los Angeles that has been invaded and conquered by outside invaders. While some have joined the occupation, others have fought back, generating a schism in the community that has resulted in destruction. Former FBI agent Will Bowman and other powerful figures collaborate to try to figure out the best way to avoid the occupation: is it preferable to ally with the invading army, or should the Angelenos fight back?
Ragnarok recently released its second season, and if you enjoyed The 100, you’ll love this young fantasy series.
