Looks like we’re going to meet another Ark survivor when The 100 comes back next year.
The 100, which has slowly taken over the television world by storm is set to be where Shawn Mendes will make his acting debut in the season premiere.

Mendes previously tweeted out to the show’s writers, asking if he can be on the show. Apparently, that’s all it took since he posted a photo of him outside his trailer announcing that he has joined the cast.
While it is not certain how long his time on the show will be, executive producer Jason Rothenberg spoke to E! News and said:
“Shawn is a big fan of the show, and reached out to me on Twitter about potentially working together. He’s a very talented artist, and we knew we wanted to do something special and different for the premiere. Shawn gave us a unique opportunity and I can’t wait for our fans to see our collaboration.”
Although we don’t know much about his character, we are told that he, “gets into a tricky situation and uses his particular talents to get out of it.”
We’re glad to see Mendes try something new and on such a hit show as The 100.
The 100 airs on The CW. Season three of The 100 will premiere in 2016.
