Netflix Is Losing All 7 Seasons of a Hit Sci-Fi Show (And It’s Not Streaming Anywhere Else)

by

Netflix users don’t have much time left to watch all seven seasons of a popular CW show that’s been a long-time favorite on the streaming service. Later this month, Netflix will remove several well-known shows, including Supernatural and Arrow. The list of departing shows also includes a highly-rated CW series from the 2010s, which received a 93% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Starting December 18th, all seven seasons and 100 episodes of the sci-fi series The 100 will no longer be available on Netflix. The show, created by Jason Rothenberg and inspired by Kass Morgan’s novels, originally aired from 2014 to 2020. It’s set nearly a century after a nuclear disaster forces humanity to live in space, and follows 100 teenage criminals sent back to Earth to see if it’s habitable – only to find out they’re not the only ones there.

The 100 Started Out Great but Lost Itself on the Way

For a time, The 100 had the potential to be considered the best science fiction show of the 2010s. While it might have seemed like just another teen drama about kids returning to Earth, the show quickly evolved into a compelling survival story that explored the limits people would reach to stay alive. The 100 built a remarkably detailed world, featuring diverse cultures and groups – like the original 100, the Grounders, and the Mountain Men – each with their own languages and backstories. These weren’t just superficial additions; they constantly pushed characters to question their beliefs. The show also stood out for its complex, morally gray characters who defied typical hero tropes and grew alongside the challenges they faced.

The show The 100 started strong and was at its best during its second season. However, the quality declined around the middle of Season 3. While critics consistently gave the show perfect scores – even for three seasons straight (5-7) – viewer ratings tell a different story. The show went from an 87% approval rating in Season 2 all the way down to just 43% by Season 7.

The show’s quality dropped sharply when it moved away from its original idea: a realistic story about humanity rebuilding life on Earth after a disaster. It became overly complicated, introducing space travel, time travel, and bizarre plotlines like body-snatching. By Season 7, The 100 was almost a completely different show, filled with controversial choices that divided viewers. Sadly, the ending isn’t satisfying, and despite some strong performances from certain characters, it might be best to simply ignore the final season altogether.

Where to Stream The 100 After It Leaves Netflix?

Now that The 100 has left Netflix, it’ll still be possible to watch, but a bit more difficult. It’s not available on any other streaming services right now, and won’t be added to any others this month. Your options are to buy the series on DVD or Blu-ray, or rent or buy episodes online. While it might appear on another streaming service eventually, for now, those are your only choices.
