Binge alert! The beloved retro series Mad Men is back just in time for the holiday season so fans can see Don Draper and the gang work their advertising magic while navigating troubled personal lives.

All seven seasons of the original AMC show about a group of ad execs working on New York's Madison Avenue will be available to stream on HBO Max beginning on Dec. 1. Even better, you can it watch in 4K for the very first time.

As Jim Packer, President of worldwide television distribution at Lionsgate, said in a statement, "Mad Men continues to show truly remarkable staying power with audiences a full decade after concluding its network run, and we couldn't imagine a better home for it than HBO Max.

"HBO sets the bar for premium entertainment, making it the perfect place to celebrate one of television's defining series while introducing Mad Men to new viewers and reintroducing it to longtime fans in 4K."

Charismatic Jon Hamm shot to stardom playing Draper on the show and its 1960s era drama and fashion caused a sensation. And now viewers can bask in Mad Men's world in an even more enhanced way!

Here's Parade's guide to everything Mad Men as it hits streaming for fans both old and new.

What is Mad Men?

Matthew Weiner created and produced the period drama considered one of the best TV shows of all time. It premiered on AMC on July 19, 2007, and aired its finale May 17, 2015. Mad Men ran for seven seasons and 92 total episodes, depicting the goings-on of the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency in Manhattan from March 1960 to November 1970.

How many episodes are in each season?

There were 13 Mad Men episodes for the first six seasons, but 14 in the final season seven.

Who is Don Draper?

The show's main character, mysterious Don, is depicted as a NY advertising genius who creates some of the most famous ad campaigns in history. But through the series, Don faces trouble in both his career and personal life. While Don begins as a handsome family man with a flashy job, viewers learn he is living a lie. He is an unfaithful husband, an indifferent father to his three kids, and has hidden his real identity!

Who are the other stars and characters?

Mad Men starred Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson, Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris, January Jones as Betty Draper, Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell, John Slattery as Roger Sterling, Kiernan Shipka as Sally Draper, Jessica Pare as Megan Draper, and more.

(Photo by Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic)Was Mad Men canceled?

No. AMC allowed creator Weiner to conclude the show on his own terms. After the 2015 finale, Weiner noted, "We were allowed to end it how and when we wanted to." It has never come back and Weiner has also said a Mad Men spinoff will never happen. Both he and lead actor Hamm were happy with the ending.

What is 4K?

HBO Max has announced the Mad Men streaming will be in 4K, which is a video resolution that offers a significant increase in detail over older HD standards, with an approximate horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels. This higher pixel density results in sharper, more detailed images and richer colors.

Who is Peggy Olson?

Peggy, played by Moss, is a barrier-breaking career woman in the 1960s. While she begins at the ad agency as Don's secretary, her ambition allows her to break the glass ceiling and rise in the industry. But she pays the price in her personal life.

Who is Joan Holloway Harris?

Hendricks' curvy Mad Men office manager secretary character has an affair with her boss Roger but she ultimately holds her own amid workplace sexism. Joan marries Greg Harris, but they divorce as she implies he assaulted her. Fans see an empowering career development for Joan in the series finale.

Who is Roger Sterling?

The advertising exec, who was born into wealth, indulges in heavy drinking and cheating on his women. For fans, Roger is the suave "silver fox" they love to hate.

Who is Betty Draper?

Don's first wife is a former model who enjoyed a wealthy Philadelphia upbringing and then became a homemaker. Her perfect life with marriage to Don collapses, however. In memorable scenes, Betty shoots pigeons to protect her dog and eats whipped cream straight from the can!

Who is Pete Campbell?

Up and coming ad man Pete is a hustler who tries to one-up his bosses. Although he comes from an old money family, he resents its dysfunction. Watchers of the Mad Men streamer can see why Pete throws a chicken out the window in the third episode of season 3.

Who is Sally Draper?

Don and Betty's neglected oldest child suffers because of her parents' horrible marriage and later divorce. Sally's grandpa's death hits her hard and she goes through a rough adolescence that includes drinking, smoking, and sexual awakening. A shocking scene in season five, episode four shows Sally masturbating to the TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Who is Megan Draper?

Don's free-spirited secretary becomes his second wife and in a notable season 5 moment, sexily sings "Zou Bisou Bisou" at his 40thbirthday party. Megan later moves to Hollywood to become an actress and their relationship flounders.

How does the fashion help create Mad Men's allure?

Many MM fans tuned for the fashion alone, delighting in Joan's curve-hugging dresses, Don's dapper suits, Betty's traditional A-line ensembles, and Peggy's conservative-turned-modern looks. Show costume designer Janie Bryant worked closely with producer Weiner to create the ideal looks for the characters. In addition, redheaded bombshell character Joan brought glamour to TV with her 1960s updo.

What are some Mad Men spoilers?

Warning: those who are watching Mad Men for the first time on HBO Max might not want to read the following.

What is Mad Men's best episode?

Many fans point to "The Suitcase," from season four, episode seven, which focuses on Don and Peggy's complex relationship. The two work on a Samsonite ad account all night, making Peggy miss her birthday dinner with her boyfriend Mark, which leads to their breakup.

Who is the real Don Draper?

Viewers found out Don was actually born Dick Whitman, who grew up poor in the Midwest as the illegitimate son of a prostitute who died during childbirth. While serving in the Korean War, Dick's superior officer—the real Don Draper—is killed in an explosion, his body burned beyond recognition. Dick trades dog tags with Don to steal his identity, and starts a new life back in the U.S.

What happens in the Mad Men finale?

In the finale episode, Don is sitting cross-legged and meditating at a spiritual retreat in California when the camera cuts to the 1971 Coca-Cola "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" commercial. The last scene of Don smiling serenely hints that he went back to his NY job to create the famous ad. But it's open to interpretation, as creator Weiner shrugged about the ending, "I have always been able to live with ambiguities."

- Goldberg was in Italy to film a role on the Italian soap opera *Un Posto Al Sole*.

Whoopi Goldberg returned to *The View*'s Hot Topics table bearing tales of a cold, dreary Italian locale.

The Oscar-winning actress and talk show moderator returned to her post on the program Monday, ending a two-week absence, after ** previously reported that she'd booked a role on the Italian soap opera *Un Posto Al Sole *and would miss broadcasts of *The View* as a result.

Goldberg explained details of her absence to her cohosts across her first time back on the air in weeks, announcing, "So, Alyssa [Farah Griffin] is out today, and I am back today! Back from Italy!"

The audience applauded, while Ana Navarro joked, "I think this bitch has forgotten to speak English."

The *Ghost* and *Sister Act* star admitted that she didn't "know what language I'm thinking in, or what time zone I'm in," but celebrated the role on the region's longest-running soap as a "really good" time.

"I learned a lot, because I'd never done a soap opera before, and so doing a soap opera in a different language, in a different country, made for a really interesting time," Goldberg said. "It was great. I sent you guys stuff all through, because I wanted you to know I was actually working. I was gone for two weeks in Naples, Italy. It rained every day."

She described the weather as "rain, rain, storm, thunder," and called it "crazy" to work in.

"Starring in a fake soap opera sounds so much better than living in the real one," Navarro joked of Goldberg's overseas venture, before the actress corrected her.

"One doesn't ever stop living in the real one. I didn't need to take it with me, because everyone there is aware," she said of the current political status in the United States. "But you know, this is the thing about other countries, they've lived through this. They've gone through this, they know what this is like, and they're just biding their time, saying, when the people decide enough is enough, it will be enough."

Perhaps Goldberg will one day have a hand in shaping foreign relations, as she announced on *The View*'s *Behind the Table* podcast last month that she had ambitions to hold a political position in the future.

"I know this is the craziest thing ever, and it will never happen while [*The View*] is going on, but I still want to represent our country in another country," Goldberg told producer Brian Teta on the podcast. "I've always wanted to me an ambassador."

It's what I've always said: There are great things about us and terrible things about us. We fix what we can, and sometimes we fix it really well, and sometimes we don't fix it well enough."

Seth Meyers is taking a weeklong break.

NBC announced that *Late Night With Seth Meyers* will air five episodes of reruns this week. Meyers and his crew will get a week of downtime after airing four new eps last week, including an episode on Thanksgiving Day that featured the host's family. The show also broke for the week after Thanksgiving in 2024.

On Monday, *Late Night* will re-air an episode that originally premiered on Oct. 22, featuring Meyers' former *SNL* castmate Maya Rudolph promoting her Apple TV+ series *Loot*. The ep's second guest is comedian Adam Pally, whose stand-up special *An Intimate Evening With Adam Pally* recently premiered on HBO Max.

Tuesday's ep of the show, which originally aired on Nov. 4, features *The Chair Company* co-creators Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, who also previously worked with Meyers on *SNL*. Comedian Stavros Halkias, who played a supporting role in Yorgos Lanthimos' *Bugonia*, also appears as a later guest.

Wednesday's episode, which first aired on Nov. 6, boasts an eclectic trio of guests: Tiffany Haddish, who stars in the travel series *Tiffany Haddish Goes Off*; Cristin Milioti, who recently won an Emmy for *The Penguin* and lends her voice to the animated film *In Your Dreams*; and Danish-Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier, who helmed the film *Sentimental Value*.

Meyers' show has survived most of 2025 without facing the same turmoil as CBS' *The Late Show With Stephen Colbert* (which was canceled in July) or ABC's *Jimmy Kimmel Live* (which was suspended for six days in September). However, *Late Night* has nonetheless found itself in Donald Trump's crosshairs numerous times this year, most recently when the president called for Meyers' firing on Truth Social in November.

"NBC's Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," Trump opined in his post. "He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!"

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

Meyers responded on the next episode of his show, noting that he's unconcerned with the president's criticisms. "I take no issue with the president voicing his displeasure with my show," the comedian said. "That is his right and, on a lot of nights, he's got a point."

*Late Night With Seth Meyers* airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET/PT on NBC.

Simon Cowell isn't exactly keeping tabs on Ryan Seacrest—and he's not afraid to say it.

The former American Idol judge raised eyebrows over the weekend after admitting he doesn't really follow his longtime co-star's career anymore during an appearance on The Interview, a podcast from The New York Times.During the episode, which was shared Saturday, November 29, Cowell was asked why he thought Seacrest has remained so widely liked in Hollywood. "I don't know, actually," he said, bluntly. "He was very, very ambitious. And look, I don't follow his career if I'm being honest with you." Cowell, 66, added that he's not sure "what he's done or doing," noting that the two "rarely talk now." Still, he acknowledged one thing about the 50-year-old host: "He does work hard."

Cowell and Seacrest worked side by side during American Idol's blockbuster early years—with Seacrest hosting and Cowell serving as the show's hardest-to-please judge from its 2002 debut through Season 9. Their on-screen dynamic often sparked headlines, particularly during their famous back-and-forths.

Cowell also admitted in the episode that his harsh critiques sometimes crossed the line.The former judge said he "probably" went "too far" during his early years on the judging panel, where he became notorious for his no-filter takedowns. "I wasn't trying to be a dick on purpose. All I wanted with these shows was to find successful artists to sign to the label," he explained, noting that his bluntness came from real-life audition rooms where honesty was key. Cowell added that his style has softened over the years, acknowledging he has "changed over time" in how he gives feedback.

As for what he's up to now, Cowell is steering his career back toward the world that made him a household name: building pop superstars. Cowell—who helped launch groups like One Direction, Fifth Harmony and Il Divo—is set to headline a new Netflix docuseries titled Simon Cowell: The Next Act. The project follows him as he attempts to assemble the next global boy-band phenomenon and is set to premiere on December 10th.

Alexander Skarsgård and Miriam Margolyes on 'The Graham Norton Show'

At least Alexander Skarsgård didn't make a bad first impression on Miriam Margolyes. She just didn't remember him at all.

Skarsgård had to explain to Margolyes on a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, on which the two were both guests, that they had met previously. At first, she was unconvinced.

"Well, I clearly made a strong impression on her," Skarsgård said, then tried to jog her memory.

"I believe you own or used to own a condo in Santa Monica. Is that correct?" Skarsgård, 49, asked, as the audiences laughed about the situation. "Were you looking to rent out a room in that at one point?"

Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.

In fact, Margolyes, who's known for her role as Professor Sprout in the 2002 film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 2011, said she had been looking for a tenant when she went to England to shoot a film about the boy wizard.

So why hadn't he taken it, the actress wanted to know.

"It was a gorgeous apartment, and I remember you were very charming," he continued. "I think, in hindsight, I probably misread the cues, but I felt a strong sexual connection. I probably misread the cues, but I thought this could potentially get messy — if I get a room at this apartment, if I'm your tenant."

"Darling," Margolyes cut in, "I'm 84 and gay! I've been with my partner for 58 years."

"Again," Skarsgård deadpanned, "I probably misread the situation."

The British actress teased that he was "talking out of your bottom."

More seriously, he said, "But I was actually there, and I do remember that we had a lovely afternoon, which you obviously don't remember."

Along with her important role in Skarsgård's life, Margolyes has worked in film and TV since the '60s, appearing in movies including The Age of Innocence, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, Little Shop of Horrors, and Call the Midwife.

The funny conversation between Skarsgård and Margolyes spurred another celebrity sitting on Norton's couch, Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan, to jokingly say, "Miriam, I'm your daughter," as she hugged Margolyes, to which Skarsgård responded that he was Coughlan's dad.

Watch the funny moment above.

Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman accepted the 2025 Gotham Awards' inaugural Gotham Musical Tribute for their new movie Song Sung Blue

While on the red carpet, the two actors revealed the one thing they learned from working with each other on the film

Song Sung Blue is in theaters Dec. 25

Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman are kicking off their awards season with a prize for their new movie Song Sung Blue.

Hudson, 46, and Jackman, 56, appeared together at the 2025 Gotham Awards in New York City on Monday, Dec. 1, where they received the awards show's inaugural Gotham Musical Tribute for their performances in their new movie about husband and wife Mike and Claire Sardina, who formed the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder in the 1980s.

While on the red carpet, the two actors opened up to PEOPLE exclusively about the one thing they learned from working with each other in the film.

"Hugh, his superpower is to connect," Hudson tells PEOPLE of her costar. "Whether it's on stage, whether it's on set, whether it's with anyone and everyone — he just wants to connect and he wants to make sure that everyone's happy. I learned that one of the great gifts you can give people is that you actually have a desire to connect to them."

As she turned to Jackson, Hudson adds, "I think you give that to everybody — even though I'm sure it takes a lot from you. You're like a masseuse who's constantly giving energy to other people, and needs energy for you."

Kate Hudson/Instagram

Meanwhile, Jackman says of Hudson, "I learned a lot from Kate. I learned about acting on film, actually. I've done almost 50 films, but, somehow, working with Kate — it's a very difficult thing to describe but the mixture of being prepared and just being instinctive is a really fine line and no one does it better than Kate Hudson."

"Being with her, I learned and I think I became a better actor," Jackson says. "Also, there were two key moments where she stuck up for the film, which was inconvenient for timing and everyone, but both of the moments are key moments in the movie now. So, it's sort of that idea of picking your battles, knowing when you need to just really say, 'No I disagree.' And I learned that from Kate, because she's the sweetest, nicest, kindest, always great. So when Kate Hudson says, 'I think this is a mistake, I think we should go left and not right,' everyone stops and listens."

Hudson is receiving Oscar buzz for her role in the new musical movie as awards season kicks off.

"You never know with these things. I've been around now long enough to know just to enjoy that people are really loving the movie," she tells PEOPLE of potential awards glory for the movie, adding with a laugh, "And just, you know, show up to where they tell me to go."

In a Nov. 4 press release, the Gotham Film & Media Institute said that the tribute "will honor Hudson and Jackman for their outstanding musical performances that capture the heart and soul of Neil Diamond's timeless music on the big screen."

Prince William and Kate Middleton are allegedly skipping King Charles' annual Christmas lunch...again.

The Waleses will allegedly snub the event due to "nonstop disagreements."

Wills and Kate also skipped Charles' lunch last year in what was described as a "coup."

Happy Holidays, someone get Netflix's The Crown on the phone, because there's even more drama than usual over in Buckingham Palace. And by that we mean Prince William is allegedly skipping King Charles' annual Christmas lunch. Again.

Rob Shuter's ShuterScoop reports that between "nonstop disagreements" and "icy moments," Prince William's decided to spend the day with Kate Middleton's family instead of the royals.

Per a source, "William and the family will dutifully go to church with big smiles plastered on, but they're not expected for lunch at the big house. It's been an extremely difficult year for William and Catherine."

ShuterScoop also reports that King Charles plans to invite his disgraced brother to lunch—a pretty shocking move, if true. (Reminder: the royals do Christmas in Sandringham, where Prince Andrew is soon to be exiled.)

Last year, there were reports that William and Kate hosted their own "rival" and more "middle class" (um, kay) Christmas at their home in what was described as a "coup" against King Charles. Apparently, the couple were worried that certain royal traditions made them look "weird," and a friend told the Daily Beast that "there's always been a slightly covert, rival Christmas party at [William and Kate's] house, but it's going to be much more obvious this year. If they post pictures, it'll be an official coup attempt."

I mean...guess it wouldn't be the holidays without some family drama?
