It was in the DNA ofThe 100that when we say something bads gonna happen, it happens.
That just made the most logical sense.
Right, humans would squabble over something so pivotal that they end up destroying it.

Was that what you were hoping people took away from this ending?Yeah.
The last shot has a card saying, End of Book One.
Theres definitely life on that planet.

We can see that from space in the finale.
Some of it is beautiful and some of it isnt, just like on our planet.
And what are you calling the planet?I cant tell you thats a spoiler fornext season.
Well join what is essentially the next outpost for humanity.
What are the threats in the woods?Arethere woods here?
Are there things that dont exist on Earth?
You better believe there are.
Were going to really lean into sci-fi world-building with this planet.
And once we started doing it, it was the most emotional day Ive ever experienced on set.
I think it was for everybody involved.
Its a shock for Bellamy and Clarke, certainly, but at least theyve reconciled.
What is their dynamic going to be like going forward?
In a way, they now have Madi and Jordan to take care of as, like, theirkids.
[Laughs] Thats a funny way to think about that.
Madis far more developed emotionally.
But they will go forward with Montys wish for them to do better.
Theyll be committed to that course Clarke, I think, even more strongly than Bellamy going forward.
They are partners, and sometimes I say theyre best friends.
Theyre certainly not romantic yet.
Bellamy and Octavia, though, still have a ways to go.
Octavia has not yet really reconciled with what shes done.
She was going to sacrifice herself for them, and she got that taken away from her.
On some level, were going to play with this a lot in season 6.
Also, part of Bellamys journey is that [his sister] was always his touchstone.
The two of them need to come back together and have a grown-up relationship.
Thats where the journey begins for them next season.
I suppose the door is open.
Hes in a medically induced coma, and actor Henry Ian Cusick ison a new series.
Should we brace ourselves for an exit?I think its too early to say.
Hell always be a core member ofThe 100family, and were going to figure out [his schedule].
What about Diyoza and her baby?
Her fetus is now, what, the oldest fetus in the world?Its 200 years old!
[Laughs] Two hundred years old and five months.
And yes, everybody whos alive at the end of season 5 is in season 6.
