"The 100" Season 3 will give viewers more information how the 12 Grounder tribes survived the Earth's nuclear catastrophe. It will also further shed light on why they came to live short and brutal lives. Now that the Mountain Men have been annihilated, more focus will be given to the remaining tribes and their backstories.
Melty reports that by now fans know how vicious the Grounders are and the next season will attempt to explain why they turned out that way. EP Aaron Ginsburg has hinted that "The 100" Season 3 will not be a feel-good tale. He explained that the Grounders found out a way to ride and endure the radiation while the Mountain Men simply went underground in caves and tunnels to survive the nuclear radiation that nearly wiped out humanity.
In the previous season, the 12 Grounder tribes formed a coalition that successfully defeated and put their nemesis, the Mountain Men, out of the picture. The coalition was headed by Lexa. It will be interesting to see if the Grounders will keep the coalition or fall apart next season.
Also said to be explored in "The 100" Season 3 is the relationship of the Ice Nation to the rest of the survivor tribes reports Examiner. The Ice Nation will reportedly undermine Lexa's rule at the same time that the Coalition will start to crumble. If Queen Nia will be able to have enough influence with the rest of the Grounder tribes, she might just be able to convince them to put her in position over Lexa.
Queen Nia is said to be willing to do anything to prolong her reign. She and Lexa also have bad blood between them so her being a serious threat to Lexa's leadership is not hard to imagine.
Meanwhile, Christian Today reports that a tweet of "goodbye to a new friend" from showrunner Jason Rothenburg sparked another round of rumors of an impending death in "The 100" Season 3. In addition, the same tweet from Rothenburg also hinted of a Clurphy (Clarke and Murphy) romance.
No definite date has been announced for "The 100" Season 3 premiere but it is expected to happen in early 2016.
