Jon Hamm announces Mad Men Season 5 premiere date

AMC also announced premiere dates for the highly anticipated returns of Mad Men and The Killing. Mad Men, as series star Jon Hamm leaked earlier this month, will return on Sunday, March 25 at 9/8c with a two-hour Season 5 premiere. The Killing will also kick off its new season with a two-hour premiere, on Sunday, April 1 at 8/7c. (Coincidence that it returns on April Fool's Day? Discuss.) The murder-mystery drama moves to its regular timeslot, 9/8c, the following week.
