'Hell on Wheels' renewed for expanded 4th season
 

yeah!! :GFYBand

Hell on Wheels is not only coming back for a fourth season, it?s also getting more episodes than ever before. The Western has been picked up for 13 episodes, which will premiere next summer (the first three seasons had 10 episodes each).

The move follows the show?s successful season 3 transition to what?s normally considered a programming dead zone ? Saturday nights. AMC programs Western movies on Saturdays, so having an original series from the same genre seemed like a natural fit. In fact, Hell on Wheels averaged 3.3 million viewers with three days of DVR, an increase from the second season.

There?s still word, however, on the fate of AMC freshman drama Low Winter Sun.

?[Showrunner] John Wirth and his team on both sides of the camera delivered a remarkable third season and Hell On Wheels fans responded,? said Charlie Collier, AMC president. ?We are so proud of this show and congratulate everyone who has contributed to its success. AMC has served passionate Western fans for three decades, so it is particularly gratifying to see these viewers capping off their Saturdays with an original Western on what has historically been a tough night of the week for television.?

I loved the first season. the second season lost me and never went back

I just removed all the unwatched episodes of Low Winter Sun off my tivo, - aint nobody got time for that.

Hell on Wheels started out promising but for me its been spinning it's wheels for 2 seasons now.

They killed off that chic I liked at the end of season 2, and then I didnt even watch any of season 3.

I really like Hell on Wheels. Even the last season I thought was very good. I'm glad it's coming back for a fourth season.

Excellent news

I watched like 4 episodes and gave up, shitty 'perform for the cameras' reality show.

Are you thinking of the correct show? We're talking about Hell on Wheels not Hell's Kitchen. It's a Western period drama, not a reality show.

My GF loves that show, she'll be glad to hear this

It's a couple of steps down in quality from Deadwood in every single way :2 cents:

True, but Deadwood was so good that it allows hell on wheel a bit of room to still be a good show. I do feel it is slipping but it still has potential.

Awesome, after the end of the last season looking forward to seeing what happens to Cullen and the whole "bear" thing with Elam.

I did here it was in trouble (ratings wise) so glad it got another season.

I gave it a chance, I watched the first two seasons and I had lost interest by the end of the second season.

I suppose after watching shows like The Wire, Breaking Bad, Deadwood etc that are 10/10

I just don't have the tolerance to watch shows that are only 7/10 or 8/10

don't watch then :2 cents:

Same here. I think I'm going to go back and give season 2 another chance though. Only watched a couple episodes.

Great news there, liking it a lot. AMC does some very good shows!

I can see that. Its definitely not on the same shelf as those 10s.

if this show were to have an ending, would you still say that? :1orglaugh

That's what I just said :) Gave it a chance, wasn't up to scratch so I stopped watching it

last season was kind of lame

Tiiiight.
Tight, tight, tight!

I'm still pissed off that HBO canceled Deadwood.. Fucking cocksuckers..

It sucks when the great shows get cancelled :disgust
