While Matthew Weiner’s period drama helped launch the so-called “Golden Age of Television,” it is almost impossible to imagine a show having its massive cultural reach in today’s saturated streaming era. The AMC series was a bona fide cultural phenomenon, with its acclaimed performances and meticulous period production design dominating water cooler discussions for its entire seven season run. While just about every major TV series in recent memory has enjoyed some sort of reboot or spinoff to generate content for the streaming wars, most of the “Mad Men” cast has been disinterested in reviving the show.
“I’m of the belief that when a story’s told, it’s probably done being told,” Jon Hamm famously said. “So I don’t know, maybe there’s another version of it out there somewhere, but I hope not.”

However, there is one cast member that definitely wants more “Mad Men” in their life. Speaking to ET about the show’s 15th anniversary, Kiernan Shipka, who played Sally Draper on the show, said she is eager to return to the character.
“I’m not done with Sally,” Shipka said, before detailing her vision for a potential spinoff. “I don’t think she’d be in New York. I think she’d do L.A… But I’m not done with her at all.”
When “Mad Men” ended, AMC considered developing spinoffs about several characters, one of which would have followed an adult version of Sally several decades after the show’s conclusion. While Shipka would have been too young to play the role at the time, she is certainly interested and available if the network ever decides to revisit the idea.
While it’s unclear if any of her “Mad Men” costars would want to reprise their roles in this hypothetical spinoff, the cast has certainly kept in touch. Kiernan revealed that she still frequently sees her onscreen father, Jon Hamm.
“I always love seeing him,” she said. “I’ve run into him so much lately. It’s so funny.”
