Are you a Mad Men fan? Do you want to feel sad?
AMC has given us an exclusive look at the last Mad Men teaser ever. This is a series that has always produced haunting, stylish promos, both in still photograph and trailer form. So it's noteworthy that AMC has chosen to go with something a little more heartwarming in the buildup to the series finale — and all those shots of Betty (January Jones) carry an added resonance in the wake of the penultimate episode.
Still, this video is mostly a reminder of how quickly things change. One day Sally Draper is a tiny child, and the next day she's a young woman. One day Peggy Olson is a fresh-faced secretary, and the next day she's all super important and stuff. Don Draper is always handsome, but his handsomeness mellows with age, no?
Anyway, watch and watch again. You won't remotely spoil yourself for the finale, but the promo might leave you feeling like you never want Mad Men to end.
The series finale airs Sunday, May 17, at 10 pm Eastern on AMC.
Update: Added air date and time.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
