'The 100' Renewed for Season 6

The CW has renewed the dystopian sci-fi drama series The 100 for a sixth season.

News of the renewal settles the fate of the show, one of a few of the network's series remaining on the bubble. Decisions regarding Life Sentence, iZombie, and Valor have not yet been announced, though it's anticipated that Valor and Life Sentence -- both of which have underperformed -- will not be renewed.

The 100, which returned for its fifth season last month, has been the stronger performer among the on the bubble series for The CW, drawing 2.1 million viewers in its most recent ratings versus iZombie's 1.3 million according to Deadline. Those numbers make The 100 a reliable midseason performer for the network on Tuesday nights.

Contributing to those numbers is something of a three-front plot this season. At the end of season four, those on Earth found themselves scrambling for survival in the face of the coming Praimfaya, a second nuclear apocalypse event caused by failing nuclear power plants around the world. Clarke, Bellamy, and Octavia all found themselves in different places when the moment came, with Bellamy going back into space to the Ark, Octavia below ground in the Second Dawn bunker, and Clarke left behind separated from both groups in the lab. Now in season five, the story has jumped six years later, revealing the fate of the trio even as a new threat -- a prison transport ship -- arrives on Earth to further complicate things.

The 100 joins 10 other CW series -- Arrow, Black Lightning, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, The Flash, Jane The Virgin, Riverdale, Supergirl, and Supernatural -- in being renewed for the 2018-2019 season.

The 100 airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW.
