The next apocalypse is right around the corner for The 100, and Clarke will need all hands on deck if even a slim portion of Earth's survivors hope to weather season 3. Wanheda's popularity is at an all-time low, however, and no one will have their hackles up more than the infamous Ice Nation.

With Roan (Zach McGowan) at the helm, can relations thaw between the Arkers and the deadliest sect of Grounders? There's always a chance.

"I think there's always tension and the Ice Nation is a different place, so I think that will be explored," McGowan explained at Wizard World Columbus. "Whether or not they can find common ground and work together will be really important as to whether or not there'll be peace within this world. And whether we can come together and overcome larger challenges together remains to be seen."

Then again, there will be those members of the populace - Arkers and Grounders alike - who will be willing to throw in the towel before the fight for survival even begins.

"We're about to face an enemy that we actually cannot defeat for the first time. I think it's going to be really interesting to see how people deal with that," Eliza Taylor (Clarke) teased. "Of course, Clarke's going to want to be like, 'Save the human race!' But some people are going to be like, 'Screw it. If we're going to die, let's have a party.'"

Find out who will join the cause when The 100 returns to The CW in early 2017.
