The actors of Mad Men refused to divulge any details about the show’s upcoming season which will begin airing this March, but its series creator gave the press a hint of what’s to come when Mad Men returns for its fifth season.
According to Matt Wiener, this year, the running theme would be “every man for himself.” He further expands this by saying that the characters are going to realize that their own problems are theirs to hurdle and not everyone will be interested about it.
It also means that each of them will have to go through a personal crisis.
As the world is changing in this period — technologically, socially and economically, the characters will be dealing with their own stuff. Who has it the worst among Don, Betty, Peggy, Roger and the rest of the cast, Weiner does not want to reveal.
He says, “I can’t tell you that. I can tell you one thing, which is that if you keep it on your mind, it is constantly there. And you know, I’m a composer who is writing for an incredible orchestra. It is not pre-meditated, but there are seasons where there’s been a lot of Betty, seasons where there’s been a lot of Peggy. There’s always going to be a lot of Don. But I have gotten to really feel like, even with this huge cast of characters that I fought to keep in the world – I don’t want the world to get any smaller – I think that Christina had an amazing season, Vinny (Kartheiser) had an amazing season, Lizzy (Moss). It’s all over the place.”
Sounds like chips are falling and falling hard for everyone.
