In “Red Sun Rising,” we’ll learn more about the dangers of the New World. Plus, the characters will continue to deal with baggage from the old one.
Fans of The 100 finally got their first taste of the New World during the show’s sixth season premiere last week, and this week’s episode promises to dive deeper into the dangers of this strange new planet our heroes have discovered.
“Sanctum” ends with the planet’s two suns eclipsing, bringing out the symptoms of eclipse-induced psychosis in Emori. And judging by the promo teaser for this week, the entire exploratory team will soon be feeling the effects of the eclipse. With all the resentments they’re harboring toward one another, that can’t be good.

But even as we learn more about Sanctum this week, the entire focus of this week’s episode won’t be on the New World. As Skaikru wakes from cryosleep, the episode will definitely start delving into the tensions still lingering from all that happened back on Earth—particularly in the underground bunker.
Octavia, Wonkru’s former queen, certainly takes a beating in the preview for “Red Sun Rising.” We knew her followers weren’t thrilled with her decision-making toward the end of last season, but they seem particularly bloodthirsty after their long sleep in space. The promo even ends with someone holding a knife to Octavia’s throat and proclaiming that “the queen is dead.” We hope he doesn’t mean literally; it would be satisfying to see Octavia get a proper redemption arc this season.
