BREAKING. Fox secures the new American railroad drama, Hell on Wheels, for FX; first season starting 19 February at 21:15.


You're reading it here first.

Toot-toot! I can break the news that Fox International Channels for Africa has secured the brand-new American railroad drama Hell on Wheels for FX (TopTV 110), putting it on the schedule with a starting date for Sunday 19 February at 21:15 (South African time).

The strongest competition within the pay television market in South Africa for the latest new TV shows is now definitely Fox with a steady stream of some quality shows now also going to FX on TopTV, whereas before everything went to M-Net on DStv.


Hell on Wheels which just started in America on the AMC channel is set in 1860 and is a contemporary Western drama. It's centred around a former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon. His quest for vengeance has led him to the Union Pacific Railroad's westward construction of the first transcontinental railroad through America.
