The ratings for Hell on Wheels have dropped lower and lower so AMC decided to end the series with season five. Will the fifth season’s ratings be the show’s best numbers yet or, will they drop lower. Will the execs regret not cancelling the show instead of giving it a final season? Stay tuned.
A gritty period drama that takes place in the 1860s, Hell on Wheels revolves around the institutionalized greed and corruption behind the building of America’s Transcontinental Railroad as loyalties are abandoned and the race between the Central Pacific and Union Pacific lines intensifies. The cast includes Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, Christopher Heyerdahl, Robin McLeavy, Jennifer Ferrin, Phil Burke, Tim Guinee, Dohn Norwood, Reg Rogers, Byron Mann, A. Zhou, Tzi Ma, and MacKenzie Porter.

What do you think? Do you like the Hell on Wheels TV series? Do you think it should be ending? Would you watch a sixth season?
I don’t know who is doing the math at the box office. but it looks like it gained ratings rather than lose them. The last season could have at least been finished by showing how Bohannon dealt with the swede after threatening the new family. This is why I don’t watch television anymore, I am also sorry if you people at the box office aren’t even paying attention to who’s pirating your content(I know its messed up however, look at how well Game of Thrones is doing because of it). But, it probably would have improved your numbers quite a… Read more »
What a shame such a good show ended. Wish they’d bring it back or an off shoot of it.

It was one of the only real and educational series on tv now days now some series made for i’m sorry what I would call idiots. … it was nice to see something interesting instead of the… Read more »
This was a great period piece that MANY MANY of my friends watch. In fact we have one night a week that we all watch. My college children love it as well. We sort of stumbled on this show but the audience here is growing and loves it! Please continue!
I would love to see this show continue! I only discovered Hell On Wheels a couple months ago but have been completely captivated with it since. I am really hoping this is not the end for “Cullen Bohannon.” Hats off to Anson Mount, he was phenomenal. And as much as I depised “The Swede” he also played his part extremely well, they are both extremely talented actors.
Terrible Storytelling coupled with horrible writing.. This show should never have made it past the pilot..
I loved this show. Such a wonderful period piece with good acting and production value. There was such as long gap between seasons, however, that I lost interest. After never knowing when it was going to be aired, I gave up and waited for it to appear on Netflix. I was sad to say goodbye to these characters and their lives. Too bad. I’d like to have seen more.
Love HELL ON WHEELS.
Netflix should do more seasons, i loved the show and would love to see more.
Please bring new seasons back on net flex, “Hell on Wheels.” best show on tv….
You can’t leave us hanging! That’s a great show & we need to know how it ends please finish
Netflix should pick up the show !
This was a great show … I hope it has an ending … even a single/double episode that ties up the ends – or better yet – the Swede.
This was a really fantastic show. I looked forward to watching it every week. In between seasons, I would check every couple of weeks for the season premiere date. It seems like all the shows that are worth watching disappear and the really crappy ones stay one.. I guess the younger generations just don’t appreciate the good shows.
He’ll of a show, best one on tv, not happy about it at all bring it back.
Please don’t end this show or I will want to end living!! If I have to, I’ll come to Hollywood and act out every part just to keep it going!! Lol. Love this show, one of the best shows to air on television in years. Great actors, story line and a little bit of history sprinkled in as well. America needs more Cullen Bohannons!!
