AMC Picks Up Mad Men For A Fourth Season

AMC announced today that they’re picking up Mad Men for a fourth season. There’s really no surprise there as the series is doing well in the ratings and received sixteen Emmy nominations this year, including one for Outstanding Drama.

Mad Men premiered it’s third season last month and is still going strong in the ratings. With this news of an early renewal for season four, it seems AMC has faith that the series will continue to be the success that it is.

“We always saw the potential for Mad Men, and believed in and supported the series because of our strategy of developing cinematic television that complements our library of the most entertaining movies, from every genre, on television. It’s been extremely gratifying to see the show develop in to such a pop-cultural phenomenon with such a passionate fan base,” said Charlie Collier, president and general manager of AMC. “With this early fourth season renewal, we’re excited to let our audience know the captivating world of Sterling Cooper will be back on AMC again next year.”

Mad Men airs on Sundays at 10:00 p.m. ET on AMC. The series follows the ruthlessly competitive world of advertising, set on Madison Avenue in the ‘60s.
