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!
A gritty period drama that takes place in the 1860s, Hell on Wheels revolves around the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad and the various people connected with the Union Pacific Railroad. 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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
11/7 update: Hell on Wheels has been renewed for a fifth and final season.
Final season averages: 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.09 million total viewers.

Please do not cancel I love this show!!!
Hell On Wheels is one of the few really good shows on TV–Well written and acted—Anson Mount is superb—A really good western and there aint enough of these now.. Leave out the profanity–its not necessary Thanks—-bring it back!
We watch Game of Thrones, Newsroom, PBS documentaries and masterpiece, Revenge, Walking and Talking Dead but…WE LOVE HELL ON WHEELS AS NUMBER ONE, best stories, realism, anticipated and always DVR’d. Don’t cancel it, quality shows are hard to find. PLEEEESE don’t cancel it.
Not in the same league.just look at who views the walking dead—the low info viewers
Who are easily entertained by junk
He’ll on wheels is a unique quality show
I disagree completely. And I’ll even go so far as to say it’s unfair to compare the two shows as they are vastly different and have completely different subject matter. I thoroughly enjoy both “The Walking Dead” AND “Hell On Wheels” for vastly different reasons. What the shows DO have in common is impeccably brilliant writing and stellar acting by all of their characters. I have to give AMC their due… They know how to pick shows… “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” “Hell On Wheels”, “The Walking Dead,” and more recently “TURN” and “Halt and Catch Fire.” All of them are… Read more »
You are right. I was responding to another comment.
Outstanding series.
Do not cancel
Shows of this quality are rare and appreciated
One of the top series ever
Best show on in a long time. If this show gets canceled, it will show the ignorance of a lot of people. DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW! This show could easily run for another 10 years and we would still watch every single episode. Cancel this show and you will show your own ignorance. Are you ignorant?
Watched since the start and it gets better, a real Western cleverly based around the constantly unfolding story of building a real railroad! Excellent casting, great characters and realistic settings, the dirt, filth, disease and degradation that existed is faithfully projected, death was truly violent as portrayed in the series. The series is based in a place and timeframe when life was completely lawless and cheap, and in series 4, it again manages to cleverly reflect the intent to form some kind of law. Each series moves the characters and surroundings on slowly to show little less, dirt, filth and… Read more »

They let a STUPID show like The Walking Dead go on forever, but cancel a great show , Hell On Wheels. Makes no sense. Hell On Wheels is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Watched it & recorded it every Saturday.
Let’s see the walking dead gets 15 million viewers and hell on wheels gets 2 million viewers the math is pretty simple and I like both shows. Most likely wheels will be cancel hopefully they give us closure.
