WARNING: This article may have spoilers for The 100 season 7 episode 8. Read at your own risk.
The 100 season 7 episode 8 is set to arrive next week on The CW, with the title "Anaconda." This episode will be different from the previous ones, as it will explore more about the Earth in the past before the nuclear apocalypse happened. It also serves as a backdoor pilot for the prequel.
In The 100 season 7 episode 8, we'll learn more about what happened to the Earth many years ago. The characters will be diving into an entirely new world, but was set in the past. The world will be revealed to Clarke and others, and they'll have a chance to witness some of the events that transpired before.
In the synopsis, a surprising connection takes them back to the past, particularly how the nuclear apocalypse destroyed the Earth. This episode could open new stories, and could also tie some of the loose ends. Since this is the final season of the series, it will likely introduce new stories for the prequel.
There are a lot of stories to be told here and some could carry powerful messages. This is a clear indication that we'll be focusing on the things that happened when Earth was still in a normal shape. Within this episode, Clarke also needs to confront a new adversary.
The 100 season 7 episode 8 could give us more insights into what lies in the prequel, which has been in talks for some time now. Although it hasn't been officially ordered, it's clear that the series is already setting up stories for it. But if ever it does happen, we have to wait for a while.
Because of the current global health crisis, the prequel -- which has no official title as of yet -- could arrive at a later date. The CW has to figure out the schedules first, but as per CarterMatt, it could probably arrive at some point in spring 2021.
Details about the potential prequel series are also scarce right now. But previously, series creator Jason Rothenberg teased that the story will focus on the aftermath of the first nuclear apocalypse in the world. We could see stories as to what and how the Earth was before.
The 100 season 7 episode 8 will be airing on airs on Wednesday night, July 8, on The CW. The episode is directed by Ed Fraiman and was written by Jason Rothenberg.
