The post-apocalyptic drama started years after a nuclear apocalypse that made Earth uninhabitable and sent the remaining humans into space, with those humans coming back down from space in the first episode.
The prequel story is set 97 years before the start of The 100, starting with the end of the world, and follows “a band of survivors on the ground as they learn to cope in a dangerous world while fighting to create a new and better society from the ashes of what came before.”
The episode is written by The 100 executive producer Jason Rothenberg, who confirmed the news on Twitter.
“So excited to keep expanding the world of #The100. Thanks to @TheCW and @WarnerbrosTV for their continuing faith and support,” he wrote.
