The current cast of this gritty drama also includes Ben Esler, Colm Meaney, Common, Dominique McElligott, Eddie Spears, Philip Burke, and Robin McLeavy.

What do you think? Do you still like the Hell on Wheels TV series? Do you think the show should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
I think he’ll on wheels is a great awesome show 10 times better than a lot of garbage out there. I think it should keep going past 4 and five hopefully at to six and if not will be very disappointed. Thank you .
Please tell me there will be a season 5 of Hell on Wheels! Anson Mount is reason enough for it to continue!
He’ll on Wheels Breaking Bad The Dead,the only reason I keep Dish is for AMC!
I love the show! I am so glad there is going to be a third season!
PLEASE!!! keep this on! Yeah, its a little predictable but so what. Who doesn’t love a a tragic hero and heroine. Above all VERY entertaining! Million times better over all the stupid reality crap on TV. I only just started watching it and apparently there’s been several seasons. Someone needs to get on top of the PR
This has to come back, I’m finally watching it – where was it buried??!!!! I had no idea it was on, AMC put all their eggs in on Mad Men and Walking idiots. This show has some depth, sometimes predictable, but always entertaining. Bring it back and push the PR.

loved hell on wheels hope it comes back for a third and fourth series
Loved hell on wheels . Hope it continues for a third and fourth season
I love this show It really is one of the better ones on tv these days! Good acting & storyline. I REALLY hope it is not cancelled, but all the good shows are usually cancelled & all those crappy reality shows take there place. Id rather eat glass then watch reality tv!!!
Love the show but so disappointed with the season finale. I can not imagine the upside to killing off Lily!!! I am afraid season3 will just be raging Cullen.
The more we watched, the more we enjoyed this show. Fine work by the cast.
Please bring it back!!!!
Been dragging my feet finishing the finale of Season 2.
Hell yeah I want a Season 3!!
Please bring this show back. It’s one of the best on TV. I hated losing Lilly Bell. Dominique Mcelligot is one of the most beautiful and talented young actresses in the business.
Absolutely want to see a season 3.
