Rueben's Ramblings

On March 19, the new drama The 100 will debut on The CW at 9 PM.

Ninety-seven years ago, nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying civilization. The only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three generations have been born in space, the survivors now number 4,000, and resources are running out on their dying “Ark” – the 12 stations now linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors alive. Draconian measures including capital punishment and population control are the order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to ensure their future, including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth’s surface to test whether it’s habitable.

The cast includes Australian newcomer Eliza Taylor, Paige Turco (Person of Interest), Thomas McDonell (Suburgatory), Marie Avgeropoulos (Cult), Kelly Hu (Arrow), Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy) and Henry Ian Cusick (Lost and Scandal).

Here is a trailer for The 100.
