Collider: You finished filming this series finale down to the wire of production getting shut down.
What was that like?
What were the challenges of trying to get this finished, under those circumstances?
By the way, I semi-lied because we hugged everybody anyway, and fortunately nobody got sick.
Youre right, we were up against it.
We had three days left to shoot when they called to say that everybody was shutting down.

We pulled the Monday work up to Saturday, and we shot on Saturday.
How was it decided that this would be the final season?
ROTHENBERG: This was where it needed to add.

I dont know if the studio and data pipe would have let us continue into Season 8.
I assume they would have.
Its a long time to be telling the story of one group of characters.
That was another amazingly generous thing that the studio and data pipe allowed.
Every season, we like to mix it up, so every season was a new adventure.
Season 5 is a good example of something like that.
ROTHENBERG: That was exciting.
If that series does go forward, is that something that youll also be the showrunner for?
The final season ofThe 100airs on Wednesday nights on The CW.
