Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) is a former Confederate soldier who’s trying to leave his past behind. AMC is hoping that viewers won’t leave Hell on Wheels behind and the TV series will still bring solid ratings so that they won’t have to cancel it.
The current cast of this gritty drama also includes Ben Esler, Colm Meaney, Common, Dominique McElligott, Eddie Spears, Philip Burke, and Robin McLeavy.
Below are the most recent ratings for Hell on Wheels on AMC. The second season airs on Sunday nights. There are 10 episodes once again.

RENEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Absolutely love the show!!!! It has to continue! Love mr Bohannon & hope Lilly isn’t really dead! Please renew for season 3!
please renew Hell on Wheels for season 3. It’s a amazing and exiting show with all what a movie must have (the good, the bad and the ugly….. ok, bad and ugly in once as Mr.Swede 😉 ) All the Actors plays her role absolutely credible and inthusiastic.

OMG….have loved this show since inception. Photography, characters, surrealism, cinematography, historical, conflicts, strength and determination, romance and I found myself talking to the TV:) Haven’t done that since DEADWOOD. BUT, hugely disappointed at the end with the murder of the heroine, Lily. Hope it is not to be. Great series….PLEASE RENEW for another year. Hoping in some way that you bring back Lily. If not….I guess I will have to go back to reading!
LOVE this show! Hope to see it back for Season 3. Please, please, please bring Lily back….the relationship between her and Cullen deserves further development.
LOVE the show!
