AMC is dividing the final sea꧑son of “Mad Men” in half.
The show’s seventh season will now comprise two seven-episode arcs airing in the spring 🌳of 2014 and 2015 as the series wraps the sordid story of ‘60s-era New York ad man Don Draper (Jon Hamm).
The move is reminiscent of what AMC did with “Breaking 📖Bad,” which divided its final season into two eight-episode runs that kicked off last summer and this summer. The move resulted in record ratings for the s🔜eries as it nears its finale episode (Sept. 29).
“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,” ser♑ies creator Matthew Weiner said in a statement.
