Season 1 of The 100 was a surprise hit for the CW. Now the author of the book, Kass Morgan, is opening up about the new season, and the show’s cast, including Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos).
Kass Morgan recently spoke to Enstars about what is like having her book turned into a hit TV show:
“I started with the canned answer for a while, which is it feels like a dream come true. But, actually I would have never even dreamt about this. I don't even know if it's a dream come true; it's so far beyond anything I could have hoped for or wished for.”
Morgan recently made a trip to the set of filming, which she also commented on, adding:
“It was amazing. Everyone was so nice. I didn't realize the scale of the production, which is just because I'm ignorant about how TV works. There's hundreds of people in the woods outside of Vancouver and hundreds more elsewhere building sets and writing and scheduling everything. But, to see what they're doing and the intensity and the focus and the standards to which they are holding themselves - it was daunting. And, when I think about how all of that started from me writing a book in my pajamas with a big cup of coffee and I could see it turn into something with such professionalism and such vision, that was extraordinary.”
Morgan went on to compare the character on screen with the characters from her book:
“I was not involved with the show at all so I wasn't really communicating with any of them but somehow the heart and soul of the characters were translated so incredibly well. I think the TV writers have done an amazing job; the actors have done an amazing job. I think the characters that are probably closest to the way I wrote them are maybe Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos). Especially Octavia--it's interesting because she's not a POV character in the book. I was considering doing that, but there just wasn't enough room for a fifth POV. But, all of those thoughts and emotions that I had for her that didn't always necessarily make it on the page have been absolutely expressed through the incredible performance of the actress.”
Season 2 of The 100 premiers on October 22, on The CW.
