"Harry Hamlin has expressed support for Mad Men&amp;#039;s final season being split into two parts. AMC recently announced that Mad Men&amp;#039;s final 14 episodes will air over the next two years.   Hamlin - who plays ad executive Jim Cutler in the series - told USA Today that it makes sense for Mad Men to emulate the model that Breaking Bad used to air its final episodes. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s a very wise move. What they discovered with Breaking Bad is that by giving it an extra year, they were able to attract an extra god-knows-how-many people to the show,&amp;quot; he explained. Hamlin continued: &amp;quot;There were a lot of people, including my wife, who had never gotten into Breaking Bad. Because of that longer time frame, she then spent the summer watching the whole thing. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s probably the way these shows are going to evolve from now on. The new summer reading is going to be downloading an entire lifespan of one of these shows.&amp;quot;  Mad Men creator Weiner recently said that the decision to split up the final season was entirely down to AMC. &amp;quot;[Consider] what happened with Breaking Bad and you can see why [they&amp;#039;re doing it],&amp;quot; the writer explained. &amp;quot;For me, if they want to do that, they know what they&amp;#039;re doing.&amp;quot; Mad Men returns next year on AMC in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK.
