'Hell On Wheels' Season 6 Latest News & Update: Is AMC Committing To Spin-Off?

AMC'S Western drama "Hell On Wheels" bid its audience goodbye in Season 5. Everybody seems to be satisfied with the "Hell On Wheels" Season 5 finale, but speculations indicate that AMC will nod either to a new season or at least a spin-off.

Set in the year 1860 where issues and feuds were rampant regarding the construction of United States' first Transcontinental Railroad, the "Hell On Wheels" series' story centers on an ex-Confederate Soldier named Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount). In "Hell On Wheels" Cullen Bohannon is the chief engineer of the railroad construction.

"Hell On Wheels" fans will see how Cullen Bohannon tried to exact revenge on the people who murdered his wife and son. In this way, "Hell On Wheels" shows the audience a world of dirty politics, greed, and violence.

Having ran for five seasons, "Hell On Wheels" was received well by its fans. However, it seems that ratings as Deadline highlights were not high enough to guarantee "Hell On Wheels" Season 6.

In fact, the ratings of the Western drama have decreased from the ratings they received during their initial run. With this, AMC decided to end the series with Season 5. But there are still rumors going around that there might be another season or at least a spin-off.

But fans seem to be more interested to have a spin-off instead. Fans are hoping that with a spin-off, the plot may tackle time travel.

All the previous episodes of the series are good enough to create a deep and entertaining spin-off or even make Hell on Wheels Season 6 a reality.

If a "Hell On Wheels" Season 6 or spin-off continues as Zap2It proposes then there might be a lot in the audience who will be intrigued to watch. The problems in the 1860s such as the dirty politics and violence are not too different from the ones in existence today.
