AMC Brokers Mad Men Deal

After months of tense negotiations between AMC and Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, the stylish period drama is back on course for another two-season run.

Per terms of the deal between AMC and Lionsgate, Weiner will return as show runner for the fifth and sixth seasons of the Golden Globe-winning series. Because of the delay in getting a contract signed, AMC will delay the premiere of the upcoming season, bringing Mad Men back in March 2012 rather than its customary summer slot.
