‘Mad Men’ Season 7 Premiere: Season 6 Released On Netflix Ahead Of Final AMC Start Date; Will Finale Be ‘Nostalgic’?

"Mad Men" season 6 released on Netflix on March 30, just ahead of the "Mad Men" season 7 premiere. The final season of the AMC series airs on April 13 - will the finale be "nostalgic"?

"Mad Men" season 6 released on Netflix just two weeks ahead of the season 7 premiere, allowing fans to catch up on Don Draper's latest trials and tribulations in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling on "Mad Men," revealed new spoilers about season 7 to The Men's Journal. John Slattery revealed what he wants to see in the "Mad Men" season 7 finale, and he thinks it's time for the final season to premiere.

"I just don't know how much there is left to say," Slattery said. "I'm not saying it's running out of gas - but we told the story. It's time to go."

The 51-year-old actor also revealed how he would like the last episode of the series to end, Enstarz reports.

"I think it would be cool to see the core group still there - the same four or five people who started Day One," he said. "But that's probably corny and nostalgic. That's probably not how it'll happen."

The show's final season will be split into two parts: the first seven episodes of "Mad Men" season 7 will premiere in Spring 2014, and the other seven episodes will air in Spring 2015. 

TheWrap asked AMC president Charlie Collier about this decision to split "Mad Men" season 7 into two parts after the network did the same for the last season of "Breaking Bad."

"I will say this: If you look at what we did with "Breaking Bad," in terms of the elevation of that series to pop cultural status, obviously it all starts with Vince Gilligan and a great show and a great team of writers, so I'm not talking about that, but we planned for two years the evolution of that series to conclusion," Collier said.

"And these two shows are ones that we've been very deliberate about. So for example, the splitting of the seasons on AMC started with "Walking Dead," not "Breaking Bad." It started tactically, to get the second half out of the way of the Super Bowl and the playoffs, but also the fundamentals underlying it were to try to put the show in the best place to succeed for the most people, because we believe in water cooler television. [Executive vice president Joel Stillerman] always talks about the value of anticipation," he added.

"And with "Breaking Bad," you really saw that happen. We literally were planning museum events where Charlie Rose interviewed Vince Gilligan at the Museum of the Moving Image, and we were on a curation tour of this show ... it was really a mission for us to elevate the show ... And now we're doing the same with "Mad Men" ... We've met for a year now on how to complete "Mad Men" in style, and you'll start to see our plans unfold." he said.

"Mad Men" season 7 premieres Sunday, April 13 at 10 p.m. on AMC.
