AMC's MAD MEN Season 5 to Return With 2-Hour Premiere, 3/25

At the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour over the weekend, it was revealed that AMC's long-running drama series MAD MEN will return for season 5 with a two-hour episode airing March 25th. Jon Hamm, who portrays the show's Don Draper, will be directing the season's second episode. 

Recently it was announced that the award-winning series will run for three additional seasons, with the series finale coming at the end of the show's seventh season. MAD MEN is the winner of three consecutive Golden Globes and four consecutive Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series.

Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell. Last season stunned audiences with its cliffhanger finale, as Don Draper's professional and personal lives unexpectedly imploded.

Created by Emmy and Golden Globe winning executive producer Matthew Weiner, Mad Men stars Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, JarEd Harris, Rich Sommer, Aaron Staton, Robert Morse and Kiernan Shipka.
