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.

Great show love it
please keep the show going… I know it cant go forever but it has to make it across the country to ca. Needs to let everyone knows what happens to the people we LOVE!!!!! Not left hanging like the rest of the stations do.
We love this show and hope for many more!
Definitely renew it. I watch a lot of tv shows and this is by far the best story, and reality shows have none. Keep it going!
I love Hell on Wheels and really hope it doesn’t get cancelle.
What a gem of a show. Don’t stop now. We need more smart shows like this and less reality garbage.
Renewed absolutely…..
Truer words were never spoken! One of the best shows on TV. Love Anson Mount. Great characters and a worthy story! You’re right, get rid of Reality Shows. We don’t watch them at our home.
We absolutely love the series….
My husband and I love Hell on Wheels, not to mention Anson Mount is a great actor along with many others in the cast of colorful characters that Cheyenne has to offer. PLEASE, DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. Great western ranking up there with Lonesome Dove. I like Walking Dead also but different shows. Please don’t leave us hanging and disgusted like HBO Did with Deadwood. That was good also. Maybe grafficly violent similar to the Walking Dead but the acting, writing, and characters were still great. At least it didn’t show anyone having their leg eaten like WD did… Read more »
Amazing show, please keep it going,my husband and I haven’t missed an episode.
Ya gotta be kidding me, keep it going, what a GOOD STORY, we love it, What not enough curse words?????
One of the best shows on TV and it HAS to be continued. Anson Mount is amazing! Love the story, characters and premise of the show! KEEP IT GOING!!!!! Only one cast member you could do away with: Christopher Heyerdahl (sorry if I misspelled the name).
Yes! !! Best series since breaking bad. more please .
We are a couple. Since we started watching Hell on Wheels, we haven’t missed an episode. We love it. The show must go on.
Good to have a great western on TV now days. Great writers and actors. John Wayne would approve!! Hope it continues.
Best show I have watched in years. He’ll of a way to end a show for those that have watched for a long time. Walking dead is a stupid show, pretty far out. Bring Hell back and at least have a final ending.
