‘The 100’ Prequel Not Moving Forward At The CW

The long-in-the works spinoff of The 100 that refused to die for two years is now officially over at the CW.
The prequel, from The 100 developer/executive producer/showrunner Jason Rothenberg, started as a backdoor pilot in the seventh and final season of The CW drama, and was greenlighted in October 2019.
The project did not go to series in May 2020 but was kept alive. As Deadline has reported, the scenario that was discussed on and off for The 100 prequel was a joint run on the CW and HBO Max. That remained the path that was pursued for the project until the end.
In his most recent update in May of this year, the CW president Mark Pedowitz gave fans hope.
“There are still discussions going on — it is not done in any way, shape or form,” he said during The CW’s upfront press call. “The discussions are still happening.
