AMC announced today that Hell on Wheels will be returning for a fifth and final season of 14 episodes.
Seven new episodes will air next summer, with the final seven episodes of the series following in the summer of 2016. This splitting-in-two of the final season seems to be AMC's go-to format for finishing off their dramas, as they've now done it with both Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Hell on Wheels, which has flown under the radar for the past few seasons, has become a sleeper hit on Saturday nights where it's delivered an average of 3.4 million viewers.
“With season five of Hell on Wheels, we are proud to bring our trans-continental journey to conclusion for the large, loyal audience that has traveled with Cullen Bohannon and his crew for so many years,” said AMC President Charlie Collier. “We look forward to appropriately honoring Hell on Wheels in this final season. Enormous thanks to the terrific writers, cast and crew for all they have achieved and for all that lies ahead in the Wild West.”
The final three episodes of the fourth season kick off tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT
