You’re not ready for The 100 season 3, as this epic trailer proves.
The CW’s The 100 is amazing, and it would seem the world is finally catching on. Can we just take a moment to appreciate that this has been trending on Twitter all day:
And now, the much-anticipated trailer is finally here:
…Wow. We don’t even know where to begin! It seems like this trailer revealed a lot, but knowing The 100, it probably didn’t even scratch the surface.
Keeping up with Clarke Griffin
When The 100 season 3 opens, Clarke is off on her own, trying to deal with the horrific events of the season 2 finale.
But it turns out that everyone is now out for her blood, and it’s up to Bellamy, Abby and the rest of the Sky People — and perhaps her friends among the Grounders — to help her survive.
The trailer indicates that Clarke will seek refuge with the Grounders, at least for a while, and that her relationship with Lexa will intensify.
While the pair grew close in The 100 season 2, Lexa’s decision to retreat from the final battle could potentially have driven a wedge between them. Some fans even worried that Lexa wouldn’t be back in season 3, because of Alycia Debnam-Carey’s commitment to Fear the Walking Dead.
But, to our relief, Lexa was not only glimpsed in this trailer, but featured prominently. As expected, her reunion with Clarke will be somewhat tense, but what happens after that is anyone’s guess. Whatever it is, it would appear to end with Clarke sauntering around in full Grounder heda garb. Hmmm.

The beautiful Trigedasleng song (which Jason Rothenberg calls “A Grounder anthem”) that opens the trailer is interrupted by — what else — war and fighting. We see a new leader (played by Michael Beach) rise up among the Ark survivors to challenge Kane and Abby’s authority, and it looks like the Arkers will be going on the offensive against the Grounders.
This not only puts Octavia in the direct line of fire (anyone else super worried about her right now?), but also pits her against Bellamy. It’s heartbreaking to see the two siblings squaring off.
Overall, it seems like everyone is broken after the events at Mount Weather. Everyone cries, including Clarke, Bellamy, Jasper, Monty and Raven, but there’ll be some tender moments as well: Kane and Abby share a kiss (probably because one of them is about to die, knowing this show), as do Lincoln and Octavia.
And finally, Clarke gets carnal with… somebody. But is it Lexa, or someone else? Are the two shots even part of the same scene? Also, why is her hair red? So many questions.
Other awesome moments from ‘The 100’ season 3 trailer:
- Bellamy is disguising himself as a Grounder. But it appears that he’s also going to war against the Grounders. He’s up to something… any theories?
- Bellamy and Lincoln take off their shirts and wrestle. Wait, what?
- Emori is back, and it looks like she and Murphy will have a little side-quest (which involves more shirtlessness)
- We’ll get some backstory for Jaha’s new friend in the red dress (A.L.I.E., played by Erica Cerra), who leads him back to Camp Jaha
- Clarke proclaims “I’m no one,” may or may not have joined the Faceless Men
- Another Bellamy/Clarke hug, if you’re keeping score!
- Jasper and Monty appear to be going through a friendship-breakup, and that might just be the most heartbreaking thing the show has done yet
- Speaking of Monty: it looks like he shoots someone! It better not be Miller…
- Octavia may be in real trouble, though it’d be strange for her supposed death to be revealed in the trailer. Is there any way the show would kill her off so soon in the season?
- Either way, someone is definitely dying. But will it be Kane, Octavia, Abby, Lexa, or someone else? Leave your theories in the comments!
The first two episodes of The 100 season 3 are titled “Wanheda” parts 1 and 2; according to The Inquisitr, episodes 3 and 4 are titled “Ye Who Enter Here” and “Watch the Thrones.”
The 100 season 3 premieres Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 9/8c.
Finally, a PSA from showrunner Jason Rothenberg:
