'The 100' season 5 production update: Pictures of cast having fun

Production of the sci-fi drama "The 100" season 5 has officially begun. Meanwhile, cast member Eliza Taylor teased some details about Clarke and what the character has been doing during her years on Earth.

Cameras have started to roll for the next season of the CW series. The cast members got together once again on set, and the behind-the-scenes pictures (see below) show they had a lot of fun.

The plot will focus on Clarke’s life on Earth and the arrival of a new set of people dropped off by a mysterious corporation. There has been no word from either the ARK or the bunker for some time now.

How did Clarke live on Earth all this time without losing her mind? Taylor explained in an interview with Den of Geek that her life mostly revolved around a routine she'd set up. The character kept herself occupied by doing the same thing every day. Lessons to Madi, talking to Bellamy (Bob Morley) and hunting were part of this routine.

Executive producer Jason Rothenberg pointed out that the radiation levels have dropped so people can live on Earth again. However, most of the planet is a wasteland. There is one “Garden of Eden” Clarke has found, which is a place where people can live without problems. The main threat next season will be the battle for this piece of paradise.

Perhaps the first battle will be between the newly arrived prisoners and the people living in Eden at the moment. The prisoners want a place to live in, but Clarke will fight for her home.

There will also be a lot of flashbacks in “The 100” season 5 explaining the events of the past six years. Rothenberg teased that the flashbacks are a big part of the plot this year, but he refused to divulge more details.
