AMC continues their commitment-high track record as they’ve renewed this year’s freshman series Hell on Wheels. The cable network has now picked up 5 of their 6 original scripted series for further seasons, with Rubicon being the outlier. The post-Civil War-set show debuted to a strong 4.4 million viewers, and has aired seven out of the season’s 10 episodes so far. Deadline first reported the pick-up, and notes that while the series’ ratings have subsequently dropped, it still pulls in around 2 million per episode. I wasn’t particularly taken with the pilot and didn’t have the drive to stick around, but it appears the show definitely has an audience. The Walking Dead returns for the final six episodes of its second season in February, followed by the premiere of the fifth season of Mad Men (FINALLY!) on March 16th.

its going to get cancelled soon. this show has no appeal to it. Plus it stars Common who is a b*tch
Well i am watching Hell on Wheels and its very good , and i am happy its gonna have season 2
No interest in this…. Just bring back The Walking Dead already…
That last episode is how the first season should have STARTED. They’ve made the same mistake Stargate Universe made: The whole first season is just setting the scene for bigger stuff.
Plus the guy who plays “The Swede” is hugely overacting. He plays it like a freakin’ vampire king. It’s just unbearable to watch. They’re very lucky to get a second season.
Hell on Wheels is great. The first true western in a very long time…since Deadwood anyway. Its certainly time for one. “The Swede” is my favorite character. Never seen a character quite like him. Everything he says and how he says it is cool. Hope he’s a regular for season 2. Glad its renewed!
