Filming hasn't yet started for the fifth season of The 100, but showrunner Jason Rothenberg did give a few hints to the enthusiastic crowd in Ballroom 20 for the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, moderated by IGN's own Eric Goldman.
As viewers saw in the Season 4 finale, six years will have passed when the story resumes. Clarke has become a mother to a surviving nightblood named Madi, and though this isn't Clarke's biological child, Rothenberg asserted that the mother-child bond is strong. At one point, he likened Clarke's parenting style to that of Terminator 2's Sarah Connor, who had to prepare her child for impending combat. Madi has grown up listening to Clarke's stories of her mother and her friends, so they are her heroes.
Eliza Taylor (Clarke) expressed excitement and relief at being able to play a character closer to her own age after years of playing a teenager. Rothenberg also said that it made logistical sense to start the show up now that the planet is past the five years where it was rendered unlivable by Priamfaya. Flashbacks will help fill in the blanks as to how all the characters have changed (and perhaps matured) during the last 6 years. We will also see how Echo has (or hasn't) managed to ingratiate herself with her new kru, now that Tasya Teles has been promoted to series regular.
Now former prisoner Clarke and her people are the Grounders and the newly-arrived prison ship's inhabitants are the unwelcome visitors. Rothenberg teased that while Clarke will be focused on protecting her people at all costs, Bellamy will try to make her see the parallels between their arrival and that of this new ship, and that they need to do things differently. He also clarified that the new prisoners are definitely from Earth, and that they left the planet before the first apocalypse, and were cryogenically frozen, so they are contemporaries of the audience. Finding the Earth ruined is going to be one of many adjustments for the newcomers.
