The 100 Season 4 Trailer (HD)

The 100’s fourth season, released in 2017, dives back into a world plagued by survival challenges as the characters confront yet another potential apocalypse. Following the events of Season 3, which ended with the revelation that the planet’s nuclear reactors are melting down, humanity faces the impending threat of deadly radiation that could wipe out what little life remains on Earth. Season 4 follows Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) and her allies as they struggle to prevent extinction while navigating fractured alliances, limited resources, and moral dilemmas.

Plot Overview

The season begins with the immediate fallout of A.L.I.E.’s artificial intelligence control and the awareness that the melting reactors will soon make Earth uninhabitable. Clarke and her friends must determine who will survive in this dwindling landscape, leading them on a desperate quest to find safe havens and long-term survival solutions.

As the Grounders, Sky People, and other groups compete for resources and territory, Clarke, Bellamy (Bob Morley), Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos), and the rest of the group must navigate internal and external conflicts, all while racing against the clock to find a solution. They learn of a bunker that could potentially house a small group of people through the catastrophe, sparking debates about who deserves to live and what sacrifices must be made.

Key Themes and Dilemmas

Season 4 revolves heavily around the theme of sacrifice and moral compromise. With limited resources and space in the bunker, Clarke and the leaders of each faction are forced to make impossible choices. The season examines what it means to lead when every choice could mean life or death for someone, challenging each character’s ethics, loyalty, and resilience.

Additionally, Season 4 explores the concept of “the greater good” versus individual survival. The group faces devastating decisions, as only a fraction of humanity can be saved. Clarke and her allies must grapple with the question of who has the right to survive and how far they are willing to go to ensure their loved ones make it through the crisis.
