100 Episodes, One Destination: The Hit Sci-Fi Series Is Now Streaming Exclusively

May just turned into a buffet for sci-fi streaming, and one fan favorite that quietly vanished after leaving Netflix is finally back in one place.

The 100 is back — all 100 episodes, one home

If you have been waiting to dive back into The 100, it returned to streaming on May 1 — exclusively on Pluto TV. After it dropped off Netflix and fell into the nothingness for a while, the whole run is now sitting on the free, ad-supported service.

Quick refresher: The 100 is based on Kass Morgan's book series and kicks off 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse. A space station sends 100 juvenile prisoners down to Earth to see if the planet can support life again. What starts as a teen-centric setup in Season 1 pretty quickly shifts gears: by about episode four, the show finds its groove, morphing into a ruthless survival story where the kids discover Earth is not empty — and every choice has a body count.

The series aired on The CW from 2014 to 2020 and ran a very tidy 100 episodes over seven seasons. Over that stretch, it kept leveling up from wilderness politics to big, weird, sometimes wild sci-fi — think escalating human factions, hostile environments, and eventually space-and-alien arcs. It built a loyal fandom, spawned plenty of shipping wars, and, yes, stirred controversy more than once.

Is it still binge-worthy?

Short answer: yes, with a caveat. The opening stretch can lean a little too hard on teen angst, but the show locks in fast and never really lets up. It is twisty, brutal, and not precious about its characters, which makes the stakes feel real. There are a lot of people to care about, and the character work generally pays off across seasons.

On the numbers side: critics were very into it. Across all seven seasons, The 100 averages a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and several seasons hit a perfect 100% — including the final three. Audiences were more divided late in the run, with Season 7 sitting at 42% from viewers. Translation: the ride is intense and ambitious, even if not every swing lands for everyone.
