Few networks have had as much success over the last several years as AMC, and the channel recently renewed one of its latest offerings. The western drama "Hell on Wheels" has been tapped for a second season, after its first enjoyed high-ratings and critical acclaim, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series, which was the second-highest rated drama on AMC, stars Anson Mount and rapper-turned-actor Common. The show focuses largely on the building of the Transcontinental Railroad and features Mount as a former Confederate soldier working toward tracking down the men who murdered his wife. This certainly is not the first AMC original series to make it past one season. Most recently, the zombie-centric "The Walking Dead" completed its second season after a popular freshman run, the publication reports. The follow up season attracted 4.4 million viewers and 2.4 million in the 18 to 49 demographic. It's no surprise that the channel has had such success given the quality of the shows it produces. Both the period drama "Mad Men" and the Emmy favorite "Breaking Bad" are among the most well-reviewed shows on air.
