The highly anticipated final seven episodes will kick off on Sunday, April 5 at 10 p.m. ET, the network announced at the Television Critics Association’s winter TV previews. “What an incredible journey this has been,” executive producer Matthew Weiner says. “I take great pride in what the entire _Mad Men_ team was able to create episode after episode, season after season. We sincerely thank the fans for joining us on this ride and hope it has meant as much to them as it has to us.” The critically acclaimed series put AMC on the map, says network president Charlie Collier. “It is impossible to overstate the impact it has had on AMC, and I would argue, this era of television.” Additionally, the network announced a special eight-week miniseries, _Making of The Mob: New York_, which will chronicle the historical roots of the original Five Families that would go on to form the modern American Mafia. Each episode of the docu-drama will be partnered with iconic mobster films, including _The Godfather_ and _Goodfellas_. _Mob_ will air later in the first half of the year. AMC also officially announced acquiring the U.S. and Canadian rights to the adaptation of John Le Carre’s _The Night Manager_, which will star _House_‘s Hugh Laurie and _The Avengers_‘ Tom Hiddleston. The espionage miniseries, which will begin filming this spring, follows a former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston), who infiltrates the inner circle of a lethal arms dealer, Richard Onslow Roper (Laurie).
