Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss: Headlining New Prestige Dramas
The two biggest stars to emerge from the Mad Men universe, Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss, have both cemented their places as television royalty, consistently choosing roles in critically acclaimed, high-budget prestige series. Their current project slate for 2025 is particularly exciting for fans of complex character-driven drama.
Jon Hamm’s Return to the Small Screen in 2025
Jon Hamm, who perfectly embodied the brooding anti-hero Don Draper, is set to return to a leading role on a major streaming service. His highly anticipated Apple Original drama series, “Your Friends & Neighbors,” is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ on April 11, 2025. Hamm not only stars in the series but also serves as an executive producer, a common step for actors of his caliber to gain more creative control. The role is described as a complex character who hinges between a true protagonist and something more complicated, echoing the moral ambiguity that made Don Draper so compelling.
Beyond his new series, Hamm was recently seen at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival Gala Fundraiser, signaling his continued influence in the independent film world. He also received acclaim for his role in the fifth season of the FX anthology series Fargo in 2023.
Elisabeth Moss’s Reign as the Queen of Peak TV
Elisabeth Moss, who transformed Peggy Olson from a shy secretary into a powerful Copy Chief, has maintained one of the most successful post-Mad Men careers, primarily through her work on acclaimed television. Moss starred in the 2024 FX on Hulu series “The Veil,” a spy thriller that further showcased her range. Her work in the Apple TV+ series Shining Girls (2022) also kept her firmly in the spotlight.
Looking ahead to 2025, Moss is slated to star in the limited series “Imperfect Women,” a project that will undoubtedly draw comparisons to her Emmy-winning work on The Handmaid’s Tale. Furthermore, she is set to appear in the 2025 Paramount-produced film “SHELL,” confirming her continued dedication to both film and television.
The Mad Men Ensemble: New Films, Reunions, and Directing Roles
The rest of the main Mad Men cast has been equally busy, shifting between major studio films, independent projects, and even stepping behind the camera. The show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, fostered a deep sense of commitment among the actors, which is evident in their continued success.
The Draper-Sterling Family and Key Supporting Players
January Jones (Betty Draper), whose character’s journey was one of the most tragic and memorable of the series, has maintained a steady career, though some of her recent projects were affected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. She recently had a surprise reunion with co-star Alison Brie (Trudy Campbell) at an industry event, much to the delight of fans of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce era.
John Slattery (Roger Sterling), known for his directorial work on Mad Men itself, is set to appear in the upcoming historical drama film “Nuremberg,” a significant project that highlights his continued presence in high-quality cinema. Slattery has also appeared in various other films and TV shows, solidifying his reputation as a reliable and versatile character actor.
Kiernan Shipka (Sally Draper), who grew up on the set of the AMC series, has become a major star in her own right. Following her leading role in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, she continues to take on diverse roles and was recognized by Forbes in their 2025 30 Under 30 list. Shipka recently had a heartwarming reunion with her on-screen father, Jon Hamm, at a W Magazine & Chloé dinner.
Christina Hendricks, Vincent Kartheiser, and Alison Brie
Christina Hendricks (Joan Holloway), who received multiple Emmy nominations for her portrayal of the capable and often underestimated Joan, has been a fixture on television. She starred in the crime drama Good Girls (2018-2021) and the western drama Tin Star. Hendricks has several films listed as "To Be Announced" (TBA), including "Reckoner" and "A Book of Common Prayer," which fans are eagerly awaiting.
Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell) has a modest net worth of approximately $6 million, which is often cited in combination with his wife, fellow actor Alexis Bledel (who he met on the Mad Men set). Kartheiser has appeared in various projects, including a role as the Scarecrow in the DC Universe.
Alison Brie (Trudy Campbell), who played Pete Campbell's long-suffering wife, has a net worth estimated at $10 million. Brie is set to star in a new FX drama pilot where she will play a D.C. madame in witness protection, a role that promises to be a stark departure from the 1960s housewife. Her successful career includes the critically acclaimed series GLOW and Community.
The Legacy of Mad Men and Future Reunions
The enduring popularity of Mad Men is a testament to the quality of the writing by Matthew Weiner and the performances of the cast. The show’s topical authority on themes like gender roles, corporate culture, and the American Dream in the '60s era continues to be studied and discussed.
Fans eager for a full cast reunion have reason to be optimistic. The ATX TV Festival in 2025 is planning a major Mad Men retrospective to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series finale, with Jon Hamm confirmed to attend. While a full-scale revival or spin-off is unlikely, these retrospective events allow the cast to reflect on their time at Sterling Cooper and share new insights into the show's lasting impact.
The journey of the Mad Men series cast, from the smoky offices of Madison Avenue to the biggest projects of 2025, is a compelling narrative of post-show success. They have proven that the talent that made them stars in the Golden Age of Television is more than capable of leading the next generation of prestige entertainment.
