The premiere of Mad Men was a bit dark. As we transition into 1968, we learn that death was a theme throughout tonight’s episodes, but that’s Matthew Weiner giving us a message about what’s coming. Roger Sterling’s mother died. Don is again wondering exactly who he is. Megan is gaining fame as an actress. Meanwhile Betty Francis is also searching for herself and is a bit more grown up while Sally is mouthing off to everyone. Peggy Olson at her firm is being the female Don Draper, but irons out a crisis in her own way.
Here’s Matt Weiner, Jon Hamm and Jessica Paré talking about this episode and what they think is in store for their characters this season.
Costume designer Janie Bryant discusses the wardrobe in tonight’s episode.
And here’s another cryptic promo from Matthew Weiner that gives you no clue what the next episode is about. Give us something, Matthew.
Mad Men goes to its regular time, next Sunday night at 10 ET/PT on AMC.
