‘Mad Men’ Season 7 Release Date: Updates and Latest Rumors on Series Final Season

"Mad Men' fans are eagerly awaiting the show's final season, but filming is far from being over. The cast and crew haven't taken a break from filming the show's episodes, but they have temporarily moved North.

According to the Monterey County Weekly, the AMC series spent the week filming in Big Sur, California, a coastal town with stunning views about 350 miles North of the show's L.A. home base. Actor Jon Hamm and creator Matthew Weiner were spotted around town as well.

As for the final season's plot, there have been rumors that the final seven episodes will probably take place sometime after July 20, 1969"”the date of the moon landing.

Meanwhile, the cast and crew have been calling the end of the series "bittersweet" as they bid farewell to "Mad Men'. This is especially true to Kiernan Shipka, who has spent the last seven seasons playing Sally, the daughter of Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and his ex-wife Betty (January Jones).

Shipka shared her feelings about the finale on the red carpet at the 2014 MMVA's, "It's been such an amazing run and I've had such a fun time, but to have it end, it's emotional, it's so emotional," the young star revealed.

Shipka's most recent storyline, as Sally, includes her character falling for an older boy, who in one scene is shown wearing the same jersey worn by the infamous real life O.J. Simpson, who was accused of murdering his wife. Whether the jersey is an omen or a clue is anyone's guess at this time.

"Mad Men' will resume its seventh and final season on AMC on January 2015.
