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.

What do you think? Do you like the Hell on Wheels TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I love this show! ‘Hell on Wheels’ bring our trans-continental journey to life. It ‘s characters are absorbing and the excellent writing touches us all while looking on U.S. history in a new and intriguing way. For the lessening crowd of younger history buffs, the captivating and realistic characters like Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) and his crew grab interest, and hopefully make more than a few viewers look more into that historical period. We look forward to this summer for all the traditional reasons, not the least of which is watching ‘Hell on Wheels’ unwind! Thanks to the terrific writers,… Read more »
I would like to see “Heel on Wheels”, say for sveal sesons. Quality shows – Family time – Like Gun Smoke when I was growing up. There are too many stupid sit coms out there and it’s no wonder other countries think American people are Stupid.
Thank heavens for shows like the Vikings, NCSI and I always watch “Young Guns” “Gun Smoke”and all of the all of the western shows with Sam Elliot.
Let “HELL ON WHEELS” STAY.
I wish the BBC would have left “MERLIN” on. Something different, entertaining and not Stupid stuff.

Renew! Renew! Renew! This show rises above expectations everytime. The characters are believable and it doesn’t shy from the realities of pioneering and carving out theWest. I believ the show could do much to actually entertain as well as educate the public in American Western late 1800’s life and its conflicts.

WHY DOES this have to be canceled! unbelievable!
WhY would you cancel such an interesting well written, not to mention the exceptional acting. The hour goes by so fast. It really transports you to that time in history. I hope you can find a way to keep it going. It’s clear how much time and attention to detail goes into the series. Watching it seems real not acting ,you and all involved should be proud.. Thanks
great series one of the best shows on tv please keep going. Cn’t wait till season four
Can’t wait to see more of Hell on wheel. When will it start again?
Hands down our favorite show on TV..we are on our 4th round of Hell on Wheels marathons. This is the real Old West..acting is excellent, the plot is believable and love the action packed twists and turns. Last but not least..the scenery..perfection.
I agree that the show should continue! Love the acting! Would hope Bohannon character gets back with his wife and son and his crew is compensated for their hard work. The Swede character needs to finally meet justice too!
Please continue…..This is to me the way the Real West was……Love this show !
