Last year, AMC moved Hell on Wheels to Saturday nights, leading many to believe the show would be cancelled. The ratings were lower but were good enough for the show to be renewed for a fourth season. Will the numbers rise or sink this time around? Will it be renewed for a fifth season or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned!

The cast includes Anson Mount, Common, Colm Meaney, Phil Burke, Christopher Heyerdahl, Robin McLeavy, Kasha Kropinski, Dohn Norwood, Jennifer Ferrin, Chelah Horsdal, MacKenzie Porter, Tayden Marks, and Jake Weber.

I love this show. Please keep it going. My whole family and friends watch. We like that it moved to Saturday. We all get together have dinner and watch on the big screen.

I love this show from the beginning. I also wish Lilly would come back as a twin sister.
PLEASE keep the show rolling. Anson gets me through each week! And keep him SINGLE! Seriously, Hell On Wheels is a great show and I love watching it!
The actors hold my attention. Don’t stop the show.
Keep the show , Very interesting.
Great show! Very authentic. Just tuned in since Jake Weber was added to the cast as John Carroll. He and all the actors are very, very good! I hope it will be renewed; I know I’ll be a regular viewer!
SUCH A GREAT SHOW! Hope the ratings don’t drop off any lower and it gets renewed for another season.
I love this show, it should move on to the Golden Spike at least. I hope I get to see Cullen see the Pacific. Hope Common comes back as Elam! ‘Course I wanted to see Lily come back too!!
I love this show, as well and hope it’s on for years to come. Hopefully next week they’ll “find” the guy who was fighting the bear… sorry, I can’t remember his name. ; (
I have to admit my favorite characters are the ex- ***** and the blonde preacher…
This is one of the best shows on TV. It should be renewed for years.
I hope it is renewed. It is very realistic, and the star is sexy!
