"Hell On Wheels" season 5 was supposed to be the last season for the contemporary Western-themed drama on AMC. However, it seems like there might be hope for "Hell On Wheels" season 6 or a "Hell On Wheels" spinoff.
The final episode of season 5 was entitled "Done" which saw Cullen Bohannon and the rest of the gang come full circle with their own quests and stories. The viewers of "Hell On Wheels" already came to terms with the series ending - but could AMC be planning of producing "Hell On Wheels" season 6?
Time Jump For "Hell On Wheels" Season 6?
The Western drama was based on 1860 circling on issues involving the American Transcontinental Railroad. It was full of dirty politics, territory and leadership issues back then.
If there would be "Hell On Wheels" season 6, we might expect a time jump to capture the attention of the viewers. The possible time jump for "Hell On Wheels" season 6 might either be very huge (think 2010s) or a mere hop (1920s or 1930s.)
If "Hell On Wheels" season 6 would be based in current times, the story might jump to the offsprings of the characters from the 1860s. The five seasons of "Hell On Wheels" are more than enough to create a rich back story for the modern characters.
The season finale of "Hell On Wheels" season 5 showed both new beginnings and endings for the characters. Some characters died while some lived on to live the tale of their survival.
Greed, murder and corruption were the main problems engulfing the previous "Hell On Wheels" seasons. The possibility of a "Hell On Wheels" season 6 will definitely make fans expect a series with more turmoil and complexity than its predecessors, fit for the modern setting.
As of writing, AMC and the producers of "Hell On Wheels" has yet to comment on a production of a new season or a possible spinoff. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more "Hell On Wheels" season 6 news and updates!
