AMC's "Mad Men," currently in season 3 and already renewed for season 4, is a sexy, stylized and provocative drama set in 1960s New York that 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.
"Mad Men" revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom on "Mad Men," he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. "Mad Men" also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.
Since its debut, "Mad Men" has garnered an Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series; two Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Drama Series; a Peabody Award; a Producers Guild Award; two Writers Guild Awards; AFI Awards for one of the Top 10 OutstandingTelevision Programs of 2007 and 2008; both the 2008 BAFTA Award and Royal Television Society Award for International Program; and four Television Critics Association Awards, including Program of the Year.
Returning for Season 3, the world of "Mad Men" is moving in a new direction— as the business world and the private life of Don Draper become complicated in new ways.
Created, executive produced and written by Weiner, "Mad Men" stars Jon Hamm ("We Were Soldiers"), Elisabeth Moss ("The West Wing"), Vincent Kartheiser ("Angel"), John Slattery ("Desperate Housewives"), Christina Hendricks ("Kevin Hill"), and January Jones ("We Are Marshall") along with guest star (and stage/screen legend) Robert Morse ("How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"). Michael Gladis ("Third Watch"), Aaron Staton ("The Nanny Diaries"), Rich Sommer ("The Devil Wears Prada"), and Bryan Batt ("La Cage Aux Folles") round out the cast of "Mad Men."
