‘The 100’ Season 4 Spoilers: Lexa To Return?

The San Diego Comic-Con 2016 panel didn’t spoil too much of The 100 Season 4, but it did make fans happy. It became clear that Lexa may return to the show. Executive producer Jason Rothenberg has actually said maybe.

The 100 fans will remember that Lexa and Clarke found love with each other. It was the lesbian relationship the LBGT community has been waiting for. The relationship wasn’t special just because they were lesbians, and it didn’t matter to the characters around them that they were in love. Being gay, lesbian, or bisexual in the program isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Just as the LGBT community was getting its hopes up, The 100 delivered a crushing blow. Lexa was killed off, and the community went crazy. It has led to the Lexa Pledge being created, but that wasn’t enough. Fans were angry at Rothenberg’s actions, especially due to Lexa’s death being an accidental bullet meant for Clarke. It was a very similar storyline as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s when Tara was shot accidentally by Warren, as he tried to kill Buffy.

Now Rothenberg has said that there is the potential for Lexa to return. The writers will even change the direction of the show to allow her to come back.

That’s great news, right? Well, it might be if it meant Lexa returning this season. Rothenberg has said that it won’t happen in The 100 Season 4. It looks like it will be something kept for next season, and the executive producer may not have to live up to that promise. Who says the CW will even renew the show for another year?

While Lexa didn’t come back to life, she was seen in The 100 Season 3 finale. Clarke and Lexa got their emotional goodbye, as Clarke’s consciousness met Lexa’s consciousness stored inside the commander’s chip. It may not have been everything that fans wanted, but it did offer some closure.

Eliza Taylor hopes that it offered Clarke the closure she needed. She wants to see her character love again, although that won’t be any time soon. Fashion & Style reports that Clarke just thinks it is the end of love for her at the moment, because that is a normal human reaction. It doesn’t mean she will never love again, and that could come in the most surprising ways.

Some fans would like to see her and Bellamy grow to love each other. There is a strong relationship between the two, despite betraying and abandoning each other at certain times throughout the series. Others want to see them just remain friends, to prove male-female platonic relationships are possible.

Other fans may want to see her develop a relationship with King Roan. Zach McGowan, who plays the character, has been promoted to series regular for The 100 Season 4. He will be in the show much more, as the clans need to work together to fight against the threat that A.L.I.E told them about at the very end.

A.L.I.E told Clarke that all the nuclear reactors are breaking down. This season will see Earth strike back, Rothenberg told SDCC 2016. The environment will start to collapse, and the clans will need to find out why it is happening and how to stop it. They need to determine whether this is something they will be able to survive.

Actor Henry Ian Cusick has said that the show will focus on guilt and carnage this season. They have all done something that they need to forget and move on from, or need forgiveness from others to be able to move forward. Bellamy and Octavia, for example, have a lot of baggage to work through after the events of Season 3.

The 100 Season 4 will premiere sometime in January, 2017. The CW has saved it to help strengthen the mid-season programming.
