It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s 100 juvenile delinquents falling from the sky?
The writers of The CW’s upcoming sci-fi drama, The 100, recently spotted billboards for their new series, and the network today has made available the web version for your viewing pleasure.
Though the group of 100 exiles do not arrive on Earth by plummeting from the ether as depicted in the poster below, the image is pretty fascinating. It captures and demands your attention and makes you ask yourself, “What the hell is going on?” We can’t get over how amazing and crazy this poster is; it almost looks like something you would see for a big-budget sci-fi movie. It just makes us so much more excited for when the show premieres next month.
97 years ago, Earth was devastated by a nuclear apocalypse, and mankind was nearly destroyed. The only survivors were the inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit at the time. The stations came together to form the Ark, but with resources dwindling and population growth soaring, the decision is made to send The 100, a group of juvenile delinquents, to the surface to test whether Earth is once again habitable.

The poster above also reminded us of the awesome viral video from the marketing team behind the movie Chronicle, which shows what appear to be — from a distance, at least — humans flying over the skies of New York City.
The 100 premieres on Wednesday, March 19, at 9pm on The CW.
