'Mad Men' Extends Its Finale to Two-Part Season; Will End in 2015

“Mad Men” will run for an extra year. AMC announced that it will expand the final season of "Mad Men" to 14 episodes and will split them in 2014 and 2015.

AMC said that it will air seven “Mad Men” episodes next spring and the final seven episodes in 2015. Previous "Mad Men" seasons have run for 13 episodes.

Matthew Weiner, who created “Mad Men” said the two-part season will let the show tell "a more elaborate story."

This is the same kind of split season arrangement AMC had with their breakout series "Breaking Bad," which is in the second half of its final season.

"Mad Men" premiered in 2007. It won four Emmy awards for outstanding drama series. Mad Men has four major Emmy Nomimations as it heads into the Sunday's Emmy awards night. Mad Men garnered a best actor for Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm has never won an Emmy for Mad Men.

Jon Hamm plays Don Draper, Jessica Pare plays Megan Draper on Mad Men.

This is the seventh season of the award-winning drama Mad Men.

Mad Men is based around the New York advertising industry.

The New York Times reported the first seven episodes of “Mad Men” will run under the title “The Beginning.” The final severn will have the title “The End of an Era.”

Variety reports that Oscar-winning Chinatown screenwriter Robert Towne has been added to the writing staff for the seventh series.
