Returning: Mad Men

A deserved winner at the Emmys, and the second season is coming later this year.

The second season of the stylish, critical darling Mad Men will air on the Movie Extra channel in December.

It premieres 9:30pm Sunday December 14.

The series set in the smoky, executive rooms of Madison Avenue’s advertising agents in the 1960s was a big winner at the Emmys this week, defeating Dexter, Damages, Boston Legal, Lost and House. It also scored a writing award.

Previously the series has won Golden Globes including Best Drama and Best Actor in a dramatic series. Add to that WGA wins and SAG nominations, it isn’t hard to see this is a class act.

Press Release:
The winners for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards have been announced and MOVIE EXTRA’s acclaimed series Mad Men has scored a total of six Emmy Awards, including the top honour of “Most Outstanding Drama Series” and “Most Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series”, which went to the show’s creator Matthew Weiner for the pilot episode, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

In the most coveted category of Most Outstanding Drama Series, Mad Men beat out some high calibre competition, including Dexter, Damages, Boston Legal, Lost and House.

Mad Men, praised for its authentic period styling also collected four Emmy Awards for: Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series; Outstanding Cinematography for a One-hour Series; Outstanding Main Title Design; and Outstanding Hairstyling for a Single-camera Series.

  1. Great show, but this is so far behind. Season two only has a couple more episodes until its finished over in the states. They showed season one a couple weeks behind.

    Better late than never though.
