Mad Men Comes Home to HBO Max in 4K
13 Nov
Summary
- Mad Men series coming to HBO Max in 4K on Dec. 1
- Show originally pitched to HBO but was rejected
- Acclaimed drama earned 16 Emmys during its AMC run
In a homecoming of sorts, the acclaimed period drama Mad Men is set to debut on HBO Max in 4K on December 1st, 2025. The series, which ran for seven seasons on AMC, will now be available on the streaming platform where it was originally intended to air.
Creator Matthew Weiner had written the pilot script for Mad Men while working on the CBS sitcom Becker. The script caught the attention of The Sopranos creator David Chase, who hired Weiner as a writer-producer on his acclaimed HBO mob drama. Weiner then pitched Mad Men to HBO, but despite support from Chase, the network ultimately passed on the project amid a leadership change, a rejection Weiner had described as disappointing.
The HBO-style drama was subsequently picked up by AMC and went on to become a critical and awards darling, earning 16 Emmys, including four consecutive wins for Outstanding Drama Series. Now, over a decade after its initial run, Mad Men is returning to the platform it was originally intended for, allowing a new generation of viewers to experience the glamour and intrigue of Madison Avenue's "Golden Age."
