The 100: What we learned about Sanctum from the new season 6 trailer

The 100’s new season introduces viewers to an entirely new planet, and the show’s new trailer gives fans more details about the mysterious “Sanctum.”

The fifth season of The 100 dropped a huge reveal during its finale, with Clarke and Bellamy waking from cryosleep to discover that Monty found a new planet for them to inhabit. The season ends on this scene, leaving fans to wonder exactly what’s waiting for our heroes on this new world—and whether they’ll have an easier time there than they did on Earth.

The sixth season will transport both characters and viewers to this new planet, which the first trailer dubs “Sanctum.” Fans have plenty of questions about Sanctum and its people, some of which have been answered in the show’s latest trailer for the upcoming season.

Here are a few of the things we learned about Sanctum from the new season 6 trailer.

Part of Sanctum appears to be abandoned.

The new trailer gives viewers several clips of the “exploratory team” sent down to the new world to determine if it’s safe to land on. While they’re on their mission, the group appears to discover an abandoned section of Sanctum. They explore a neighborhood of abandoned homes that Echo comments are “too well maintained to be abandoned.” And while Bellamy isn’t too keen on breaking into the homes, they eventually do just that, with Murphy predictably at the helm.

Bellamy also reveals that there’s “enough room here for everybody on the ship.” That’s big news, assuming whoever normally resides here doesn’t plan on returning. Skaikru and Wonkru are without homes now that Earth is uninhabitable and their ship doesn’t have the resources they’d need to survive. But if this

Of course, whoever lives here might be coming back. There’s another reason they could be hiding, after all…

Eclipse-induced psychosis is “in the air” and possibly the forest.

During the previous season 6 trailer, fans were introduced to the concept of “eclipse-induced psychosis.” There are numerous shots of our heroes freaking out over things that don’t appear to be real, but there’s no explanation as to why this happens during the eclipse or how it functions.

The second trailer provides fans with slightly more insight, having Clarke read from “Red Sun Rising,” the book left to warn them about the strange phenomenon. Though the words are basically in the form of a riddle, the book states: “Trees and plants give us shade, and we eat them every day. But when the stars align and the forest wakes, it’s time to run away. For two days, heaven is hell and friends are foes. So few are safe once they’re exposed.”

These lines imply that the psychosis might have more to do with the plants and forest surrounding them than the eclipse itself. It also suggests that the effects only last for two days, though the final sentence is worrying. Though the immediate symptoms may wear off, being exposed to such a phenomenon could be expected to have consequences.

While Clarke is reading, we also get a voiceover of one of her friends claiming that “it’s in the air,” suggesting that whatever is affecting the group is airborne. Could this be why the homes they find are abandoned? It’s possible that the people on this planet are forced to hide during the eclipse, only returning when it’s safe to venture back outdoors.

The people of Sanctum revere their leader.

The first trailer for The 100′s upcoming season painted a pretty picture of Sanctum, showing a society that seems closer to our own than that of Skaikru or the grounders. It shows people in nightclubs, and Clarke even comments that the people there seem to be truly happy. “Their world works,” she insists.

The new trailer, however, suggests that something might be a little off about this seemingly perfect society. We meet a new female character who remains unnamed in the trailer, but her interactions with Clarke are pretty hostile. She introduces Russell, Sanctum’s leader, by stating, “He is Russell Lightborn. Bow before using his name.”

If anything points to a autocratic society, it’s a phrase like that. It’s a little odd that the people of Sactum would bow before their ruler, but the woman’s tone suggests that Russell’s leadership is more divine than that of someone democratically elected.

Thankfully, Clarke refuses to bow. But the woman’s declaration raises some new questions about Sanctum’s leader, who is beginning to seem far less welcoming than we were initially led to believe. His later order to “lock them up” doesn’t help his case.

There’s also a shot of a sign reading “Our all for the glory and grace of the Primes” in one of the homes that Clarke enters, as well as an eclipse symbol that appears repeatedly throughout the trailer. Both of these also could have more devout contexts, possibly hinting that Sanctum worships its leaders in the same way the grounders once did. Clarke and her friends just might find themselves dealing with fanaticism during the upcoming season.

We’ll learn more about Sanctum when our heroes land there during the season 6 premiere, airing on The CW on April 30.
