"Mad Men" fans will have a bit longer to say goodbye to Don Draper.
Following a trend set by "Breaking Bad," the seventh and final season of "Mad Men" will air in two, seven-episode halves, AMC announced Tuesday. The first half of the season, dubbed "The Beginning," will air in spring 2014. The second, "The End of an Era," will air in spring 2015.
"This approach has worked well for many programs across multiple networks, and, most recently for us with 'Breaking Bad,' which attracted nearly double the number of viewers to its second-half premiere than had watched any previous episode,” said AMC President Charlie Collier. “We are determined to bring 'Mad Men' a similar showcase."
Series creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner expressed enthusiasm about the storytelling potential of the two-part final season.
"We plan to take advantage of this chance to have a more elaborate story told in two parts, which can resonate a little bit longer in the minds of our audience,” he said. “The writers, cast and other artists welcome this unique manner of ending this unique experience.”
"Mad Men" debuted in 2007 and has since become one of television's most acclaimed programs, winning the Emmy for outstanding drama series four straight times. It is nominated for 12 prizes at this year's ceremony.

:stahp :stahp :stahp
I'm so angry I might stop pirating AMC's stuff. Although to be fair with Breaking Bad almost over and The Killing cancelled there's not really anything left to pirate. :pacspit
-
what about Low Winter Sun :heh
-
The Killing was canceled again? :lol
-
not a fan of this though. it especially annoys me with a show like Breaking Bad where the cast has so noticeably aged since it first aired and the events of the show are only supposed to span a year or something
-
I don't blame amc at all. After their two pivotal shows end they only have the walking dead. All of their other shows have been duds aside rubicon, which was a fiscal dud but still.

How hard is it to search for ROGER STERLING SEASON 6

*I can't (be bothered to) find the Mad Men thread so I'm just gonna post this here

Not surprised but I really wish we got more than seven fucking episodes a year.

Yeah everything has pretty much cratered for them over the last few years. Meanwhile FX is slaying it. :bow2 Forgot Walking Dead in the OP, it's alright.

That's mostly what winds me up. If it meant two eight episode (half) seasons I could deal way better. We're only getting one extra episode.

They're doing a WD spinoff, too :lol

I wonder how many potential shows and showrunners Netflix will steal from AMC.

Bullshit :lol
nope :lol
what is it even about then

Hopefully we get a Pete Campbell and his whacky family spinoff. That character is too good to waste.
