Mad Men ended its original television run in 2015. The series finale, “Person to Person,” aired on AMC on May 17, 2015.
Mad Men premiered on July 19, 2007, and followed Don Draper and his colleagues through the advertising world of 1960s New York. Across seven seasons, the drama developed stories about professional ambition, changing social attitudes, family life, identity, and the upheavals of the 1960s. Its final season was split into two seven-episode sections, with the concluding half broadcast in 2015.
The finale is the 14th episode of Season 7 and the 92nd episode overall. It brings several character arcs to a close, including Peggy Olson’s professional partnership with Joan, Pete Campbell’s reconciliation with Trudy, and Don Draper’s retreat to a California commune. The ending then cuts to Coca-Cola’s famous 1971 “Hilltop” advertisement, leaving deliberately open whether Don created it.
The year 2015 refers to the original AMC broadcast, not later streaming availability, DVD releases, or anniversary re-releases. Those later platforms do not change the show’s original end date.
