'Mad Men' Season 7 Spoilers and Premiere Date: 'The Material versus The Immaterial World'
The seventh and final season of popular AMC original drama "Mad Men" is set to begin mid-April. For the premiere date as well as spoilers for the final season from series creator Matthew Weiner, read on.
Weiner recently sat down for an interview with TV Guide, where he discussed what fans will see in season 7 of the show.
"Specifically as the show comes to a close I was interested in the material versus the immaterial world. The world of money, ambition, possession and the concrete and not-so-concrete expressions of love. For Don it definitely seems like an acquisition on some level. And then the immaterial, which is that, on some level inside these characters there is a world beyond that that is not what we see. If those other needs are met, or not met, how will that affect them? That sounds super vague but it will be explained when you watch the show. For a show that's about loss, writing the end of it has been a good intersection," Weiner said.
The show creator also spoke to how the ending of season six will come into play in the next season.
"A lot of what we're dealing with this season, and I won't be too specific about it, is we're acknowledging what happened to Don at the end of last season. That really did happen. He lost his job but also had a silent moment of reconciliation with his daughter. And he had that breakdown at the Hershey meeting where his anxiety was expressed as a confession. The consequences of that activity were kind of what we're writing about on some level. What part is irrevocable? Just because you feel different doesn't mean the world thinks you're different," Weiner told TV Guide.
The seventh and final season of 'Mad Men' premieres Sunday, April 13 at 10/9c.
