Mad Men will return to AMC in March

After an interminable break, a date has finally emerged for the return of Mad Men.

Star Jon Hamm said in a recent interview that the Emmy-winning series will return for a fifth season on March 25.

AMC would not confirm or deny Hamm’s statement.

In November, creator Matt Weiner explained that the protracted renegotiation over the show’s future on AMC had nothing to do with the drama’s delayed premiere to 2012 but the perception still remains that he was, in part, to blame.
