The CW has handed series orders to two new science fiction dramas, The 100 and The Tomorrow People, adding both to its schedule for the coming season.
Developed by Jason Rothenberg and based on Kass Morgan’s books, The 100 is set almost a century after a nuclear war has left Earth uninhabitable, with the survivors of humanity living aboard an ageing space station called the Ark. As resources run low, a hundred young offenders are sent back down to the surface to find out whether the planet can support life again, and quickly discover they may not be alone.
The Tomorrow People is a reimagining of the cult British series, from Greg Berlanti, Julie Plec and Phil Klemmer. It follows a group of young people who represent the next step in human evolution, gifted with powers such as telepathy, teleportation and telekinesis, who must band together as a shadowy organisation hunts them down. Robbie Amell leads the cast.
