Apologies, a rant about the CW & spin-offs follows :

A spin-off on the show isn't something that we should be expecting. The CW has succesfully launched 3 spin-offs in it's history (Flash, Legends and The Originals) which were from shows with way bigger audiences (Arrow was already big, Flash became even bigger as its own show and Legends came from those two combined), or a show that had been airing way longer (like TVD) and in an era where the CW needed to keep it's current audiences badly. They've also tried to create a succesfull spin-off for SPN but failed (even though SPN checks both boxes of being on air longer and having a loyal audience).

Now the CW is venturing in uncommon waters like comedy (JTV, CEG) and with the current dominance of the Arrowverse (4 out of 10 shows in primetime tv) that's just not something they have room for

That said, I'd love to dive into the history of the grounders a lot more. I have always loved cross-platform storytelling like Flash does with Chronicles of Cisco, and like The Originals did with the web-miniseries.

End of rant

I do think the grounder culture is interesting enough to feature more. I just don't think there's room for that on The 100 right now. Especially since we won't be seeing Lexa returning, so they'd have to focus on some other part of the grounder world, which might be difficult.
