AMC shows The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad both have spinoffs in development, so will Mad Men?

“There’s no chance,” says Mad Men creator Matt Weiner.

The parent network recently announced that Mad Men‘s seventh and final season will be split into two parts airing in the spring of 2014 and 2015, but just because it’s following a similar path as Breaking Bad (the meth show’s final 16 episodes were split into two parts) doesn’t mean a spinoff will be happening with the advertising drama. “No judgment against anybody else — but this is it. This is the story. When it’s done, it’s done,” he said.

Speaking about splitting Mad Men season 7 into two parts, Weiner said that it was a decision made by the network, and he found a way to work with it. “Every season is a new story, and I don’t want to get bored but I also don’t want to let the audience down,” said Weiner. “For me, I start over. And there’s this kind of thing that happens with the audience every year where it’s like they’re very happy to see us back in the premiere, and when the new story starts around episode two they start getting antsy and then they get with it by episode three when they see it’s a new story.”

We’re glad to see Weiner standing his ground on this issue, and we would not be surprised if AMC has tried or will try to ask him for more Mad Men in some form.
