Mad Men Leads Off AMC’s Summer Slate

NEW YORK: The fourth season of the hit drama Mad Men makes its debut on AMC on July 25, to be followed later this summer by the premiere of the new original series Rubicon.

The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning series Mad Men, produced by Lionsgate, will air Sunday nights on AMC starting July 25. On Sunday, August 1, AMC’s newest original series, Rubicon, makes its debut with two episodes airing back to back from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. After its premiere, Rubicon will take a regular time slot on Sundays at 9 p.m. The series is a conspiracy thriller set in an NYC-based government intelligence agency, where nothing is what it seems.

"Sunday nights are where you find the best of premium television so it should be no surprise that AMC—the home of premium television on basic cable—is stacking our original dramas there as well," said Charlie Collier, the president of AMC. "We welcome back Mad Men and look forward to introducing Rubicon all on Sunday nights this summer."
