Mad Men has been given a fifth season.

As expected, the Emmy Award-winning AMC show Mad Men has been given a fifth season, an option the cable network had with the series’ production company Lionsgate TV and creator Matthew Weiner.

However, due to protracted negotiations between AMC and Weiner the premiere of the show's fifth season is being pushed from late summer 2011 to early 2012.

The full statement from AMC reads as follows: “AMC has officially authorized production of season 5 of Mad Men, triggering our option with Lionsgate. While we are getting a later start than in years past due to ongoing, key non-cast negotiations, Mad Men will be back for a fifth season in early 2012.
