\nLet the countdown begin!<\/p>\n

From the Hollywood Reporter:<\/a> <\/p>\n

\nAMC will premiere Season 4 of “Mad Men” on Sunday, July 25, answering fans’ burning questions from last season’s cliffhanger finale.<\/p>\n

With the disbanding of ad agency Sterling Cooper and the marital split of the Drapers (played by Jon Hamm and January Jones), the upcoming premiere will play like a whole new pilot for the Emmy-winning show.<\/p>\n

During the weekend, “Mad Men” showrunner Matthew Weiner seemed to suggest in an interview that his 1960s period drama would end after six seasons.<\/p>\n

An AMC spokesperson responded, “No one wants to see Don Draper wearing a leisure suit. We trust Matthew’s vision and that he knows where to take the show. But with that said, ‘M*A*S*H’ figured how to stretch the Korean War for more than a decade, so stay tuned.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
