10 Movie & TV Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (20th May)

7. Jon Hamm Wants A Mad Men Spin-Off... About Sally

Men Men ended this week, which means that AMC are likely considering a way to keep the show going in the same way that Better Call Saul and the upcoming Fear the Walking Dead are continuing Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, respectively. Well, Jon Hamm - who plays Don Draper on Mad Men - thinks that he has the answer: a spin-off show about Sally Draper called "Sally Through The Decades," which he likens to Forrest Gump. Here's what he had to say:
"She€™d ride a motorcycle and kill a guy and make a bunch of money and become Oliver Stone in the €˜80s. And then date Kurt Cobain in the €˜90s, because she€™s so cool. She€™s a touchstone for every generation. I€™d watch that show; I think everyone would watch that show!€
He might have been kidding around, somewhat, but AMC are supposedly considering the genuine possibility of a Mad Mad spin-off - not to mention the fact that actress Kiernan Shipka (who plays Sally) is behind the idea: "I€™m good with it," she said. "I€™m not saying no."
