Well the season premiere did slightly better than last season, so for now the move to Saturday night hasn't hurt the show.

I was already pissed about the game and then to watch that turd of a finale. Oh well, I guess that's the last we see of Mr. Bohannon and company.

This show had such promise in the beginning.

The biggest problem I had with it was it was a blatant setup episode for the next season. They didn't even try to resolve anything.

Plus I honestly don't want to see Bohannon having a wife and kid. I mean I assume that's going to be taken care of next season, but still.

The writers can have Thor Gunderson kill them off very quickly. I don't think there will be a next season for any of that to happen.

'Hell on Wheels' renewed for Season 4 on AMC

'Hell on Wheels' renewed for Season 4 on AMC

AMC has picked up "Hell on Wheels" for a fourth season following a solid run on Saturday nights earlier this year.

Season 4 will bring back John Wirth as executive producer and showrunner, and it's also getting a bigger episode order -- 13 instead of 10. It's scheduled to return to AMC in 2014.

"John Wirth and his team on both sides of the camera delivered a remarkable third season and 'Hell On Wheels' fans responded," AMC president Charlie Collier says. "We are so proud of this show and congratulate everyone who has contributed to its success."

AMC moved the show to Saturdays this season in hopes that it would cap off a full day of westerns on the channel. The move worked, as "Hell on Wheels" averaged more viewers (3.3 million) for Season 3 than it had the previous season, when it aired on Sunday night.

Moving it to Saturday's actually saved it. The ratings went up after the move to Saturday night and that's what led it to be renewed.

No they didn't. The average rating for the season was actually down, and at best they remained pretty much the same. There was no advantage gained by moving to Saturdays.

I am pleasantly surprised. Now they can undo all the crap in last season's finale.

Best TV western for a longtime. Reminds me a bit of the Outcast from 1968. Different scenario, but similar in a friendship between two different individuals. Anyone out there remember the Outcast? Wished it was on DVD.

I really hope Season 4 is better than 3. 3 started off pretty good but I hated how it ended.

I watched like the first two seasons of this show and then just quit it. Can't say I'm sad about the choice though.

AMC's 'Hell on Wheels' Season 4 to Premiere Saturday, August 2

via press release:

AMC’S “Hell On Wheels” SEASON 4 TO PREMIERE SATURDAY, AUGUST 2 AT 9:00PM ET/PT



New York – May 29, 2014 – AMC’s original Western drama “Hell On Wheels,” will return for an expanded fourth season of 13 episodes on Saturday, August 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The new season of the series, which stars Anson Mount, Colm Meaney and Common, will air in two parts with the first 10 episodes running consecutively through Saturday, October 4, before taking a hiatus during the networks annual FearFest programming, and returning for the final three episodes beginning on Saturday, November 8.



“Hell On Wheels” shifted to the Saturday night slot last year to partner with the network’s already successful Western programming on Saturdays, and delivered an average audience of 3.3 million viewers, live plus 3. Additionally, the series nearly doubled (+97%) the network’s Saturday prime average and was +152% higher than the total day average. For season four, the network will once again package the series with favorite Western titles, including the films, “The Horse Whisperer,” “Tombstone,” and “Jeremiah Johnson,” and the network premiere of the mini-series, “Comanche Moon.”



"We're thrilled to bring ‘Hell On Wheels’ back for another season. Its success on Saturday night reflects the strength and broad appeal of the show, and we're incredibly excited to share the continuation of this story with the millions of loyal ‘Hell On Wheels’ fans," said Joel Stillerman, AMC’s executive vice president of original programming, production and digital.



Season Three of “Hell On Wheels” ended with Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) married to a pregnant Naomi and living in the Mormon fort where the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) was impersonating church leader, Bishop Dutson; Thomas “Doc” Durant (Colm Meaney) back in control of the Union Pacific Railroad which had successfully expanded westward to Cheyenne; and Elam (Common), gravely injured by a bear while searching for the missing Cullen. As Season Four unfolds, civilization makes its way west with the railroad, bringing with it men who attempt to do with their pens what rougher men did in seasons past with their guns. Conflict between government and big business, ranchers, homesteaders and the railroad will continue to define the drama as all of those interests compete with one another for control of Cheyenne, Wyoming, the “Magic City of the Plains,” and the most important railroad hub in the country. The season will also introduce several new characters including John Campbell (Jake Weber, “Medium,” “The Following”).

“We’re excited about the stories we’re telling in season four,” said series executive producer and showrunner, John Wirth. “The consequences of the stories we told last year will continue to reverberate throughout the season, and fans can expect to see some shocking events that will not only change the lives of our characters, but the landscape of the series as the railroad continues its relentless march westward.”
