We have some sad news for fans of The 100 [1]: the CW series is ending after seven seasons. On Aug. 4, creator Jason Rothenberg announced on Twitter [2] that the show's seventh instalment will be its last. "With #The100 Season 6 finale just days away, I have some bittersweet news to share: Season 7 will be our last," he wrote. "We are eternally grateful to WB & CW for always allowing us to tell our story the way we want to & to wrap the show on our terms. What an incredible ride this has been!"

The announcement comes months after The 100 was renewed [3] for another apocalyptic chapter in April. The cast recently made a fun appearance at San Diego Comic-Con [4] where they discussed the show's current season (and where costars Eliza Taylor and Bob Morley [5] dished on their secret wedding [6]). The show — which centres around the reconstruction of humanity after a nuclear wipeout — made its debut on the CW in 2014, quickly becoming a fan favourite that will surely be missed. The premiere date for season seven hasn't been revealed yet, but season six will conclude on Aug. 6.
