At this week’s National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention in Las Vegas, Mad Men creator and writer Matt Weiner announced he would not go past 6 seasons with the popular AMC series.

While fielding questions about how he is able to create great content year after year for the series, Weiner said that he could not see writing or even continuing the series past a 6th season.  Mad Men, which just began shooting it’s 4th season, is a top show for AMC and has won numerous awards for it’s writing.  It chronicles the life of marketing executives in the 60′s.

Weiner revealed  this shocking news rather unceremoniously while talking about how he creates the show’s twists and turns each season.  Viewers have seen staple characters undergo major changes throughout the first 3 seasons, and Weiner said they can expect the same for the next few seasons, should the show be renewed.

This news may come as a shocker to hardcore Mad Men fans, but in my mind it gives the show a better chance of going out on a high note.
