The highly anticipated sixth season of The 100 is scheduled to hit Netflix in the US on August 14, 2023, following its typical release pattern after the broadcast run.
Why The Timing Makes Sense
Netflix typically adds new seasons of The 100 roughly 8-9 months after the season finale airs on The CW. Since Season 6 finished its original broadcast in August 2019, this timeline aligns perfectly with the streaming service’s usual approach. For fans who prefer to binge-watch, this means you’ll soon be able to catch all 13 episodes of Season 6 in one go.
What to Expect in Season 6
Without giving away too many spoilers, Season 6 takes our survivors to a whole new world – literally. After the events of Season 5’s dramatic finale, we follow Clarke, Bellamy, and the others as they explore a mysterious new planet called Sanctum. The season brings fresh challenges, new characters, and some mind-bending plot twists that longtime fans won’t want to miss.
International Release Dates
It’s worth noting that Netflix release dates can vary by country. While August 14 is confirmed for the US, international viewers might see different availability dates depending on their region. If you’re outside the US, I’d recommend checking your local Netflix listings or setting a reminder to keep checking as we get closer to the release date.
Getting Ready for Season 6
If you’re planning to catch up before the new season drops, you’ve got plenty of time to rewatch or start from the beginning. Seasons 1-5 are currently available on Netflix, giving you the perfect opportunity to refresh your memory on all the key plot points and character developments that led to this point.
Pro Tip for Viewers
For the best viewing experience, I’d suggest watching the Season 5 finale right before diving into Season 6. There are some crucial details that directly impact the new season’s storyline, and having them fresh in your mind will make the transition much smoother. Plus, it’ll help you catch all those subtle callbacks and references the writers love to include.
Remember to mark your calendars for August 14th if you’re in the US. The 100 has a habit of dropping at midnight Pacific Time on Netflix, so dedicated fans might want to plan for a late-night viewing session. And if you’re worried about spoilers, you might want to mute some keywords on social media until you’ve had a chance to watch!
