Pictured (L-R): Thomas McDonell as Finn, Eliza Taylor as Clarke, Bob Morley as Bellamy, Devon Bostick as Jasper, Marie Avgeropoulos as Octavia, Lindsey Morgan as Raven, Ricky Whittle as Lincoln, Chris Larkin as Monty, Paige Turco as Abby, Isaiah Washington as Jaha, and Henry Ian Cusick as Kane

Spoiler alert: Clarke and company survive the apocalypse.

The CW just announced Friday that their dystopian drama The 100 will fight on for a fifth season of sci-fi and tribal warfare. The show joins fellow early renewals like Riverdale, Supernatural, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin (who’s not so, anymore) and all of the superheroes.

The Vampire Diaries sticks a stake it in tonight and we still have to see how iZombie and The Originals do when they return later spring, but with so many shows already set to come back, it’ll be a dirty street fight to find space for new entries come pilot time.

May the CW odds forever be in your favor. And pro tip to all hopefuls: don’t kill off any lesbian recurring characters!
